What is a Notary Public?
You may need to have an important legal or financial document notarized. Your new employer may ask you to find a local notary to assist with your I-9 form. Perhaps you're a business owner with a fast approaching deadline and need a document notarized after hours.
A Notary Public can assist with these circumstances and others that may emerge over the course of a lifetime.
Here are a few general facts about the role and responsibilities of a Notary Public.
- A notary is considered to be a public official whose authorities and duties are defined by the state they are commissioned in.
- The key function of a notary is to verify that the person appearing before the notary is who that person claims to be. This is typically done by the document signer presenting a valid unexpired government issued photo ID such as a drivers license, state ID or passport.
- The notary is an unbiased witness to the identity and signature of the person who comes before the notary for a specific purpose.
- The person before the notary may be required to take an oath, give a testimony, or need to sign or acknowledge their signature on a legal document. The notary acts as an official, attesting that any required formalities have been completed.
