Which detail must appear in the notarial certification to indicate the count and timing of the document?

• A. The signer’s address
• B. The notary's phone number
• C. The place of notarization
• D. The date of the document

Answer: (D)

The timing of the notarization is shown by the date on the notarial certificate. That date provides an official timestamp for when the signer appeared before the notary and the act was performed, which is essential for the document’s validity and record-keeping. The other details don’t convey when the act occurred—signer’s address isn’t required in the certificate, the notary’s phone number isn’t part of the certification, and while the place of notarization notes location, it doesn’t establish timing. So the date of the document is the detail that communicates the timing.
