Notary Public
WHAT EXACTLY IS A NOTARY?
A Notary Public is a person of proven integrity commissioned by the state to serve the public as an official, impartial witness. A Notary has the authority to confirm signers' identity through valid forms of identification documents, witness the signing of documents by willing signers and to administer oaths. The notarization process is complete with the notary signature and affixed seal which protects the signer(s) and the integrity of the document(s). A Notary Public serves and safeguards the public at large.
“A Notary Public is a government officer and public servant who serves as an impartial witness in taking acknowledgments, administering oaths and affirmations, and performs other acts authorized by state law.” [National Notary Association]

- The Notary Public will record the details of the notarization, e.g. date and time of notarization, type of notarial act performed, description of the document, method of identifying the signer and obtain the signer's signature in the Notary's fair register or journal.
- Depending upon the type of notarization performed, the Notary may witness the signer's signature, ask the document signer to acknowledge that he/she signed the document willingly or administer an oath or affirmation to the signer.
