What is a Notary Public?

​

Notaries are public officials appointed by the government to serve their citizens as trusted, impartial witnesses to document signings.

 

A Notary’s authority to perform notarizations is strictly limited to the boundaries of their state or jurisdiction and to the term of their commission, which varies from 2 to 10 years. They must also uphold the law of the appointing state or jurisdiction.

 

Notaries are serving the public on behalf of their state when performing official notarial acts. They cannot violate the law at anyone’s request — that includes employers, clients, friends or family members.
