How can a notary demonstrate the legitimacy of their signature in legal documents?

By providing a copy of their ID
Using their notary seal
Including a witness statement
All of the above

The correct answer is: Using their notary seal

A notary demonstrates the legitimacy of their signature in legal documents primarily through the use of their notary seal. The seal serves as an official mark that signifies the notary’s authority and the authenticity of the notarized document. When a notary applies their seal, it indicates that they have confirmed the identification of the signer and witnessed the signing of the document. This is a critical element in ensuring the document's legal validity and serves to protect against fraud. While providing a copy of their ID and including a witness statement can have their own uses, they do not inherently establish the notary's legitimacy in the same authoritative manner as the notary seal does. The seal is specifically designed and legally required to authenticate notarial actions, making it the cornerstone of a notary's function and credibility in the execution of legal documents.
