DOES a notarized document become a binding contract?
The notary seal and notary's signature does not make a document a binding contract. The signatures on a contract can be notarized. However, when a document if notarized, the notary is simply stating that to the best of their knowledge the signature is that of the person signing the document. In other words, the notary verifies a signature that they witness. A contract would be binding once the participants sign it in front of the notary and the document is notarized.

How do I get a document notarized for someone else in Minnesota?
Question is unclear. If you mean how do you get YOUR signature notarized for the other person - just sign the paper in front of a Notary and send it to them. If you are asking about getting THEIR signature notarized, they must do it in the presence of a Notary in Minnesota, where they are. Notaries can only notarize signatures that they actually witness in person.
