A client brings a pre-signed affidavit to a Rhode Island notary. The notarial certificate is a jurat. The client insists they are in a hurry and asks the notary to simply proceed. What is the correct action for the notary to take?

Refuse the notarization unless the client signs the document again in the notary's presence. Proceed with the notarization since the client is physically present and has acknowledged the signature. Cross out 'jurat' on the certificate, write in 'acknowledgment,' and then complete the notarization. Administer the oath but make a note in the journal that the signing was not witnessed.

Correct Answer:

Refuse the notarization unless the client signs the document again in the notary's presence.
