What must a notary do if a signer is blind?

When a signer is blind, the notary has a responsibility to ensure that the signer fully understands the content of the document they are signing. Reading the entire document to the individual allows them to be fully informed about what they are signing and ensures that their consent is actual and informed. This aligns with the notary's role of facilitating understanding and protecting the interests of the signer.

Offering this service confirms that the notary is adhering to ethical standards and legal requirements, as it safeguards against any potential claims of misrepresentation, coercion, or lack of knowledge regarding the document's contents. While other options might seem to address the situation, they either compromise the notary's duty or fail to ensure that the signer is adequately informed before proceeding with the notarization process.
