Notary Public

Home | Legal Affairs | Notary Public

Documents that are notarized have the benefit of extra security because the signers’ identities are witnessed by a neutral party. Getting documents notarized prevents fraud.

A notary public will:

• witness the signing of the documents

• verify the identity of the signers

• observe their willingness to sign the documents

• observe their awareness of the content within the documents or transaction
