What is a Notary

A notary, short for Notary Public, is a licensed professional that is able to witness (sign) documents which, as a result, gives legal authenticity to documents/forms. By law, most legal documents and contracts require the signature of a witness, sometimes two, in order for the document to be legally binding. A notary public can be found at any banking institution and when approached, they will typically offer their services for free, as long as they are serving a member of their own bank. A person acting as a notary public does not work for the government, but instead, are able to legitimize documents that are recognized by the government to be valid.

Notary Services

When using a notary service, you’ll need to be prepared before the appointment and bring a valid photo ID. Depending on your state, some documents require an additional witness to sign in the presence of the notary public. If the notary public does not have witnesses on staff, you’ll need to bring a witness to the signing. As of recently, you can even complete a notary service online by using your computer’s webcam and sending the documents electronically. A notary service will sign almost any type of document needing a witness, including:

• Bill of Sale
• Deeds
