What should a notary do if there are blank spaces before notarization?

Do not notarize until blanks are filled or the document is properly completed; advise the signer to finish the document.

Blank spaces in a document before notarization signal a risk of later alteration and fraud. The notary’s job is to witness a signer on a complete, properly executed instrument, verify identity, and apply the notarial certificate only to the finished document. If there are blanks, you should not proceed with notarization; instead, advise the signer to finish completing the document and then notarize it. Filling in blanks yourself or notarizing a document with gaps could misrepresent the content and expose you to liability. The right move is to defer the notarization until the document is fully completed.

Fill the blanks for the signer and notarize afterward.

Notarize as is and note blanks on certificate.

Ask signer to return later with completed document.
