Correct spelling, explanation: the word fulfill was already known in Old English as fullfyllan, corresponding to full and fill. However, in Middle English, the form was changed and it was written with one consonant l in the element ful as fulfillen. And nowadays, we have the form fulfill and only this is correct.
Correct spelling, explanation: this spelling is preferred mostly outside North America, correct also in Canada.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: there is the word full meaning containing a lot and fill to make something complete. Some learners of the language can join these words to make fullfill but such form does not exist in English. Actually, the word consists of a verb fill and the forming element ful. In Modern English, the combinations with ful are more common at the end of the word. But the words fulfill and fulsome are the only survivors where ful is at the beginning. This is the reason why fullfill is incorrect. It should be spelled as fulfill.
