What does a notary public confirm when administering an oath?

The identity of the signer
The veracity of the document
The willingness of the signer to comply
The legality of the document

The correct answer is: The identity of the signer

When a notary public administers an oath, the primary responsibility is to confirm the identity of the signer. This is crucial because the notary must ensure that the individual taking the oath is indeed the person they claim to be. Valid identification is necessary to prevent fraud and to ensure that legal documents are executed with integrity. While a notary does not validate the content or legality of the document itself during the oath, they are tasked with confirming that the signer has the capacity to take the oath and is doing so voluntarily. Therefore, while options discussing the veracity and legality of the document may involve aspects of notarization, they do not pertain directly to the specific action of administering an oath. The focus remains firmly on establishing and verifying the identity of the signer.
