For what purpose does a Notary administer an Oath of Affirmation to a credible identifying witness?

To ensure the Notary is impartial
To compel truthfulness
To verify the witness's identity
To speed up the notarization process

The correct answer is: To compel truthfulness

When a Notary administers an Oath of Affirmation to a credible identifying witness, the primary purpose is to compel truthfulness. By taking an oath or affirmation, the witness is solemnly promising to tell the truth regarding the identity of the person for whom the notarial act is being performed. This helps ensure the integrity and accuracy of the notarization process. The other options are not the main purpose of administering an Oath of Affirmation to a credible identifying witness.
