Which individual is NOT typically responsible for the authenticity of the document presented for notarization?

In the context of notarization, the individual who is not typically responsible for the authenticity of the document presented is the credible witness present.

A credible witness is someone who can identify the signer and attest to their identity to the notary public, but they do not have a responsibility for verifying the content or authenticity of the document itself. Their role is to support the process by providing proof of identity, particularly if the signer does not have acceptable identification.

In contrast, the custodian of the document holds the responsibility to maintain and safeguard the integrity of the document, while the notary public is responsible for ensuring that the notarization process is carried out correctly and that the document meets the necessary legal standards. The signer is ultimately accountable for the authenticity of the document since they are the one affirming its content and purpose by signing it.
