This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - An Arizona notary may notarize a signature on a document in a foreign language they cannot read. - The notarial certificate must always be completed in English or a language the notary fully understands. - While direct communication between the notary and signer is preferred, Arizona law now permits the use of a translator. - A translator, if used, must be physically present with both the signer and the notary during the entire notarial act. - The mnemonic "Direct talk or they walk" helps recall the fundamental need for clear communication to ensure a valid notarization.
