In this episode you will learn:

- The signer must physically appear before the notary at the time of a traditional notarization under A.R.S. § 41-254.

- Using common video chat platforms like FaceTime or Zoom is not a legally acceptable substitute for physical presence in traditional notarizations.

- Notarizing for an absent person, even a trusted friend or colleague whose signature you recognize, is a serious violation of Arizona law.

- The legal penalty for failing to require personal appearance can be a felony, leading to commission revocation and other legal consequences.

- The mnemonic "No See, No Sign, No Seal" is a memorable way to recall the core duty of requiring physical presence before notarizing.
