Complete the Signing assignment.

Explanation:

The practice of obtaining fingerprints from the borrowers was probably established to obtain the identification control of these professionals, since it is important that this control be established for reasons of security and effectiveness.

In view of the importance of this identification, it is necessary to establish another method of identification if the state does not allow fingerprints to be obtained, or if one of the borrowers refuses to offer his fingerprint. In that case, the best thing to do is to establish that the borrowers must assign their signatures to the Notary Agent's diary.
