In this episode you will learn: - Personal knowledge in Arizona requires familiarity from interactions over a sufficient time to eliminate reasonable doubt about a signer's identity. - Exam questions will test your judgment in scenarios, distinguishing true personal knowledge from casual acquaintance or recognizing someone by reputation. - A common exam trap is a situation where a notary has known someone for a short period or only through superficial interactions. - Your notary journal must specifically state that identification was verified through 'personal knowledge' when this method is used. - When in doubt about the sufficiency of your personal knowledge, the safest and most common practice is to request a valid government-issued ID.
