The function of a Notary is to provide confirmation that a signature is in fact the signature of the person claiming to have signed a document. A Notary cannot sign for anyone in the sense of signing a document instead of someone else.

Should you fill out the legitimation papers before you have them notarized or does the notary need to see you fill them out before they will sign them?

You should fill out the legitimation papers before having them notarized. The notary public's role is to verify your identity, witness your signature, and confirm that you are signing the document voluntarily. They do not need to see you fill out the entire document.
