What is the primary role of a Notary when notarizing documents?

To interpret the documents for signers
To ensure all parties understand the document's content
To authenticate the signers' identities and signatures
To negotiate terms of the document

The correct answer is: To authenticate the signers' identities and signatures

The primary role of a Notary when notarizing documents is to authenticate the signers' identities and signatures. This is a crucial function of a Notary to ensure the integrity and validity of the document being notarized. By verifying the identity of the signers and confirming that the signatures are genuine, the Notary helps prevent fraud and promotes trust in the document. The other options are not correct because a Notary should not interpret the documents for signers, ensure understanding of the document's content, or negotiate the terms of the document; these tasks are outside the scope of a Notary's responsibilities.
