Best Answer

Yes, for real estate documents in particular. However, local regulations may provide for "acknowledgement" of an existing signature by the signatory, where such acknowledgement is stated to a notary under the proper conditions (evidence of signatory identity, statement of location and date where signature was made, sworn under oath, etc).

Can a notary notarize a document from another state?

Yes. A Notary Public is verifying that you are who you represent yourself to be. You will be asked for photo ID, and likely to sign the document in front of the Notary.

How do you notarize a certificate of identity?

It depends on what you're asking. I suspect you mean, "How do you get a document notarized?" If so, you take the document to a Notary Public, sign the document in front of the Notary, and show ID. The Notary will stamp, date, and sign the document. You can usually find a Notary at a local bank. A Notary will normally charge you a small fee.


What does a notary public look for when notarizing a document?

A notary actually notarizes the signature, not the document. They look at the ID of the person signing, and then have that person sign in front of them. A notary is simply certifying that the signature on the document is actually from the person who it says it is.Added; It is not even necessary that the Notary be made aware of the contents of the document they are witnessing the signature to - ONLY - that the signature(s) is/are genuine.
