When notarizing a signature on a document, a notary public must be able to communicate with the customer in order for the signer
either to swear to or affirm the contents of the affidavit or to acknowledge the execution of the document. An interpreter should
not be used, as vital information could be lost in the translation. If a notary public is unable to communicate with a customer, the
customer should be referred to a notary public who speaks the customer’s language.
