     No. Notaries are not responsible for the accuracy or legality of documents they notarize. Notaries certify the identity of signers. The signers are responsible for the content of the documents.

  • Can a Notary notarize a signature if the signer does not appear face to face before the Notary?

    NO, a signer must appear face to face before a Notary to have their signature notarized. Asking a Notary to notarize a signature if the signer is not present is a criminal act.

  • Does a signer need to sign the document in front of the Notary?

    The answer to this question depends on the type of notarial certificate being used. If the notarial certificate required is an Acknowledgment then the signer does not need to sign the document in front of the Notary. However, if the notarial certificate being used is a Jurat then the signer must sign the document in front of the Notary.

  • How is it decided what type of notarial certificate must be used and who decides this?

    If a notarial certificate is already included on the written document then the certificate wording will direct the Notary what type of notarization needs to be performed. However, if a certificate is not included on the document then the Notary is prohibited from choosing what type of notarization to perform and the signer must tell the Notary what type of notarization should be performed. If the signer does not know what type of notarization is required then the signer should consult an attorney or the person who requested the document to be notarized.
