A Notary Public is a person of proven integrity appointed by the state to witness signatures, collect sworn statements, and administer oaths using a seal to confirm presence at signing.
The signer must appear before the notary, prove identity, and confirm understanding and willingness to sign. The notary doesn't decide the type of act — it's based on the document or instruction.
No. A Notary is not permitted to give legal advice or prepare legal documents unless also licensed as a paralegal or attorney.
To deter fraud. A Notary verifies identity and ensures the signer enters into an agreement knowingly and willingly.
No. Notaries confirm the identity of the signer. They are not responsible for the accuracy or legality of the document.
Yes, but only with valid reason — such as doubt about identity, willingness, competence, or suspicion of fraud. Discrimination is not acceptable.
A Notary must verify identity using valid, unexpired, government-issued ID like a passport or driver’s license.
