The General Use of Public Notary
Notarization at It’s Best
Notarization is the process that certifies all signers of a document have signed voluntarily, free from intimidation or duress. Notaries are required to take an oath before they perform their duties and administer oaths to witnesses for court cases, depositions, and other legal matters. Here we’ll discuss the general use of a public notary for your essential documentation.
Notaries Play an Important Role in Preventing Fraud and Forgery
Notaries play an important role in preventing fraud and forgery by verifying a signature on a document. Unlike lawyers, however, notaries are not authorized to give legal advice or opinions. They simply verify signatures on documents to ensure they were written by the person who signed them and that they’re authentic. Notaries can notarize documents in any language. They must be able to read all languages used on your documents, so make sure you hand over any foreign-language paperwork before submitting it for verification.
Notaries Can Administer Oaths to Witnesses for Court Cases and Other Legal Matters
Notaries can administer oaths to witnesses for court cases, depositions, and other legal matters. It also certifies that the parties signing the document are who they say they are and that documents are true copies of originals. Certifying documents as true copies of their originals and accepting witness testimony are good examples of how notaries can legalize documents in the long run.
Notaries Establish Authenticity and Integrity in an Agreement or Contract
Notaries are appointed by governments to witness signatures on documents, confirm the authenticity and tell whether they’re voluntary agreements or acts of duress. Notaries may administer oaths and affirmations and certify that signatures are genuine. Also, notaries can verify identity information provided by parties involved in certain transactions such as business transactions requiring two or more parties’ signatures.
