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).

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. The Notarized document only verifies that it was signed by the person it was supposed to go to. It does not validate terms or legality in any other way.

Documents are not assigned to states. A document is not notarized. A signature is.

Can a notary back date an acknowledgement if the person who needs the notary also back dates?
A notary does not sign to acknowledge a document. A notary is a witness of the person who signed the document. He signs to say that the person who's signature appears on the document is, in fact, the person who signed it. (This is why a notary will ask to see your drivers license or other photo ID - to prove that you are who you say you are.) A notary would back date a document because the person signing the document already signed and dated it before it was handed to the notary. In this case, the notary would not have seen the person sign the document, so it is illegal for the notary to both sign and back date.

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.

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