Only if the notary is a really close friend or family member who can vouch for the person's signature.Another View: Any document is "legal" unless until it's authenticity is called into question.

How do you have something authenticated?
I am not exactly sure on what your question means, however, perhaps you mean to ask `how do you prove the authenticity of a document?' This can be done in my jurisdiction by having a notary public "notarize" the document. Most lawyers are notaries public, which allows them to notarize a document (certifying that it is a true, and authentic copy of the orgiinal). This is done by preparing a certificate, called a notarial certificate, in which the notary will certify that the copy of the document is a true copy of the original. The notarial certificate will be accompanied sealed with the notary public's raised seal. Some notaries public will charge a fee for this service.
