Who is responsible for selecting the type of certificate needed for notarization?

Notary Public
Signer
Secretary of State
Legal counsel

The correct answer is: Signer

The responsibility for selecting the type of certificate needed for notarization actually falls primarily on the Notary Public. The Notary must determine the appropriate certificate based on the nature of the document being notarized and the requirements of the transaction. While the signer can express their preferences or needs, it is ultimately the Notary's role to ensure that the correct certificate is used to fulfill legal obligations and protect all parties involved. The Secretary of State provides guidelines and standards for notarization but does not get involved in individual transactions. Similarly, legal counsel may advise on matters related to the document but does not make the selection of the certificate itself.
