The answer is “It depends” There is one argument that if the notary simply identifies you and makes it clear that he or she does not understand the language and is just performing the notarial witnessing function, then the notary can perform this role. This may be acceptable to the recipient. But it may not be what the recipient is looking for. Please call us to discuss the facts and circumstances for your matter so we can advise you on what is needed.
