What Is Notary Service ?
A Notary, specifically a Notary Public / Public Notary or a Lawyer / Advocate, is a qualified and impartial witness who performs various official duties related to document / Signature verification and authentication. The primary responsibilities of a notary include:
Verifying the signer's identity
The notary confirms the identity of the person signing a document by checking their government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s licence, passport, or national ID card.
Ensuring Willingness
The notary ensures that the signer is willingly and knowingly signing the document without any duress or coercion. They may ask questions to confirm the signer’s understanding of the document’s content.
Administering Oaths and Affirmations
Notaries can administer oaths or affirmations, which are solemn promises to tell the truth in written or verbal statements, commonly used in affidavits and depositions.
Taking Acknowledgments
Notaries witness the signing of documents and provide a certificate of acknowledgment. Acknowledgment is a declaration by the signer that they have voluntarily signed the document for its intended purpose.
Certifying Copies
In some cases, notaries can certify copies of documents as true and accurate replicas of the original, which can be useful for legal or administrative purposes.
Notarizing Documents
The notary adds their official seal and signature to the document, indicating that they have verified the identity of the signer, confirmed the signer’s willingness, and, in some cases, administered an oath or affirmation.
Creating a Notarial Record
Notaries maintain a record or journal of notarial acts, which includes details about the documents notarized, the identities of signers, the date, and other relevant information. This record is kept for the purpose of accountability and traceability.
Preventing Fraud and Forgery
Notaries act as a deterrent to fraud and forgery by verifying the authenticity of documents and signatures, as well as the identity of signers.
Adhering to Legal Standards
Notaries are required to follow the laws and regulations specific to their jurisdiction. They must also ensure the document’s compliance with notary requirements, such as proper notarial wording and the presence of a notary seal.
Notaries play a crucial role in various legal and business transactions, including real estate transactions, wills and estate planning, financial transactions, contracts, and many other situations where the authenticity and legality of documents are of paramount importance. They serve as impartial witnesses who help maintain the integrity of the legal system and provide assurance that important documents are legally binding and genuine.
