When a signer is accompanied by a witness, the notary must confirm and record both the witness’s identity and presence, and that the signer actually appeared before the notary. This combination shows who is involved and that the act of signing happened with the signer in the notary’s presence, which is essential for a valid notarization. Therefore, documenting the witness’s identity and presence, along with the signer’s appearance before the notary, is the proper requirement. Simply knowing the witness’s name doesn’t prove identity or presence, and the witness’s signature isn’t a required element in this scenario. Saying no additional documentation is required overlooks the need to verify and record these appearances.
