What is a Notary Public? A Notary Public and is a public servant appointed by state government to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths.
Why are documents notarized? Documents are notarized to deter fraud and to ensure they are properly executed. An impartial witness (the Notary) identifies signers to screen out impostors and to make sure they have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly.
How does a Notary identify a signer? Generally, the Notary will ask to see a current identification document or card with a photograph, physical description and signature. A driver's license, military ID or passport will usually be acceptable.
Is notarization required by law? For many documents, yes. Certain affidavits, deeds and powers of attorney may not be legally binding unless they are properly notarized.
