Yes, when you are signing a document that requires notarization, you typically need to sign it in front of the notary public. The notary's role is to verify your identity and witness the signing of the document to ensure its authenticity. This process helps prevent fraud and ensures that the signatures are legally binding. Always check specific requirements, as they can vary by jurisdiction.
