A Notary is a public servant with statewide jurisdiction, authorized to take acknowledgments, administer oaths, take depositions, and certify copies of documents not recordable in the public records.
A Notary Public is a disinterested party that has notified the signer of the importance of the document, and the signer has declared that their identity, signature, and reasons for signing are genuine.
Plainly stated: the primary function of a notary public is to prevent fraud.

A notary requires the signer to be present for the notarization. The primary function of a notary public is to prevent fraud. We do this by requiring the physical presence of the signer, making a positive identification of the signer, placing the signer under oath or affirmation, or taking the acknowledgment of the signer that the document was signed willingly.

The Function of a Notary

Acting as a disinterested party to show that the signer of a document was admonished to the importance of the document and that the signer has declared identity and verified the signature. And finally, verify the competence of the signer. The presence of the Notary Public’s signature and the seal does not prove conclusively any of the factual components of the document but should allow persons in commerce to rely upon the integrity of the Notary Public as a third party with no personal interest in the transaction.
