A document written entirely in French is brought to a California notary who only speaks English. The notary and the signer can communicate perfectly in English. Can the notary perform the notarization?

Detailed Explanation

Foreign language documents. A notary public can notarize a signature on a document in a foreign language with which they are not familiar. A notary's function relates to the signature, not the content. The only requirements are that the notary can communicate directly with the signer in a shared language and the document doesn't appear incomplete.
