How should a Notary handle a document with blank spaces?

  1. Complete the blanks on behalf of the signer

  2. Request the signer to provide the missing information

  3. Ignore the blanks

  4. The signer should line through or write N/A

The correct answer is: The signer should line through or write N/A

When handling a document with blank spaces, it is essential for a Notary to ensure that all necessary fields are properly completed to prevent any potential tampering with the document later on. By having the signer either line through the blank spaces or write in "N/A" (Not Applicable), the Notary is helping to ensure the integrity of the document and indicating that those sections were intentionally left blank. This practice helps to protect the document from any potential alterations or misinterpretations in the future.
