A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by state government —typically by the secretary of state — to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents.
A notary will ask to see a current ID that has a photo, physical description and signature. He or she will also record the details of the notarization in a chronological journal of notarial acts. If a document fails any of the criteria, the notary will refuse to validate the document.
This is a valid question. One that I had. And I found that it again goes back to your state laws and what they allow.
