Best Answer

A notary public is a person who has applied and become licensed to act as a witness to another person's identity. Public simply infers that the notary is available to provide this act as a service for a nominal fee. Most often, states "cap" the amount that a person can charge for the service. For example, a state may decide that a notary public can only charge up to $5.00 for notarizing a document.
