Endorsers must meet which of the following conditions?

• A. They must be 18 years old, not related to you, and know you for at least a month
• B. They must be a notary
• C. They must be from out of state
• D. They must be a lawyer

Answer: (A)

Endorsers act as references who vouch for your character in the notary appointment process. The rules require they be at least 18 years old, not related to you, and have known you for a certain period (at least a month in this context). This combination keeps endorsements credible and independent, ensuring the person speaking on your behalf isn’t closely tied to you. They do not need to be notaries or lawyers, and there’s no requirement that they come from another state. The point is to have trustworthy, external input about your fitness for the office.
