What Does a Notary Public Do?

As a notary public, my job is to provide a critical layer of protection and security for individuals and businesses involved in legal transactions. I am a public officer who is authorized to witness and authenticate signatures on legal documents and perform other notarial acts.

One of my key responsibilities is to verify the identity of individuals signing documents. This is important because it helps to prevent fraud and other illegal activities. To do this, I ask individuals to present a valid form of identification and confirm that they are who they say they are. In addition to verifying identities, I also administer oaths and affirmations, certify copies of documents, take acknowledgments, and perform jurats. These are all important steps in the legal process, and I am responsible for ensuring that they are conducted properly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

As a notary public, I take my role and responsibilities very seriously. I am committed to providing reliable, professional, and prompt notary services to help individuals and businesses protect their interests and ensure the smooth and legal completion of important transactions.
