No, a promissory note does not need to be notarized to be enforceable in a court of law. Virtually every promissory note on a mortgage is not notarized although a lender might require a borrower to have someone else at least witness it. A promissory note is nothing more than a formal contract to repay a loan on certain terms and conditions. In other words, it is nothing more than a fancy I. O. U. Contracts are not required to be notarized to be effective. The benefit of having a contract notarized is that it proves that the person who signed the note is in fact the person it is being enforced against.
As an aside, mortgages (as opposed to the mortgage note) must be "acknowledged" in front of a notary, but that is generally a requirement for the mortgage to be recorded publicly rather than to have it be effective.
No, it does not.
