When a notary public in England and Wales is asked to notarize a document written in a foreign language that the notary does not understand, what must the notary do before proceeding?

Ensure the client fully understands the document's legal effect, using a reliable translation or qualified interpreter if necessary, and state the language arrangements in the certificate. Refuse the instruction outright because UK notaries are prohibited from notarizing foreign-language documents. Translate the document into English using automated software and certify the translation as an official court translation. Sign the document without reading it, provided the client signs an indemnity releasing the notary from all professional liability.

Correct Answer:

Ensure the client fully understands the document's legal effect, using a reliable translation or qualified interpreter if necessary, and state the language arrangements in the certificate.
