In most states, YES. Only cannot notarize their own signature In many states, such as Florida and South Carolina, notaries public may not notarize signatures of themselves, their parents and grandparents, their siblings, or anyone else when the documents are in the interest of the notary (for example, a deed, a title or will in which the notary would be the beneficiary).

Can a wife notarize spouses signature?
A Notary Public (at least in Illinois--I have not researched the issue regarding other states) may notarize any signature other than his or her own. That said, in some communities, such a notarization is considered to be inappropriate (though not ineffectual). It would be vulnerable to challenge if the notary derives any benefit from the document.
Can a notary notarize his on signature?
What a notarization proves is that a person identifying themselves as Thus-and-So, with documentation supporting that claim, appeared before the notary on a certain date and signed the particular notarized document.If that's what you meant, then yes. If you meant something else, then probably not.

No. Most states specifically prohibit notaries from notarizing the signatures of their immediate family. Even in states where it is not specifically prohibited, notarizing the signature of a family member almost always creates a conflict of interest in which the notary can not notarize.

Is an affiant and a notary the same thing?
An affiant and a notary are not the same thing. An affiant is the person who signs an affidavit or statement. The notary (often called "notary public") is an official who witnesses the affiant's signature, often by affixing a seal of the state in which the notary is licensed. Note that a notary may not notarize his/her own signature. Therefore, even if an affiant (person who is signing a statement), a separate person who is licensed as a notary must witness and stamp the first affiant's signature. What the notary is notarizing is the person's signature--not the validity of any statement. Is this now clear as mud?
Can you notarize your own paper work?
No! The purpose of notarizing a signature is to provide verification that the person that signed it was in fact the person they said they were. It violates the rules and would be deemed inappropriate and would probably invalidate the signature.
Can a Notary and Power of Attorney be one in the same?
Not enough information is given with which to answer the question. WHAT kind of "agent" is being referred to? However this general statement can be made; an individiual acting under a "power of attorney" CANNOT notarize any documents bearing their own signature. In other words, they cannot sign something acting in their capacity as a POA and then, if they also happen to be a Notary Public, they cannot notarize that same document.
