Notary Public

  • Description: A Notary Public is a public officer appointed and commissioned by a state (or in some cases, a national government) to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths.

    • Acknowledgments: Confirming the identity of the person signing a document and ensuring they're signing of their own free will.

    • Jurats: Administering an oath to a person making an affidavit.

    • Witnessing: Observing the signing of documents to ensure their legitimacy.

    • Copy Certifications: Attesting to the validity of a photocopy.

    • Fraud Prevention: By confirming identity and willingness, notaries help deter fraud.

    • Legal Formality: Some documents require notarization to be legally effective.

    • Trustworthiness: A notarized document often holds more credibility in legal scenarios.

    • Legal Advice: Notaries can't provide legal advice unless they're also licensed attorneys.

    • Document Preparation: In many jurisdictions, notaries aren't allowed to prepare legal documents or act in capacities that might constitute the unauthorized practice of law.

    • Impartiality: Notaries must remain impartial and cannot notarize documents in which they have a personal interest.
