On a notary document, "ITS" typically stands for "In Testimony Whereof." This phrase is used to indicate that the notary is providing formal acknowledgment or verification of the signatures and events described in the document. It signifies the notary's affirmation of the authenticity of the signatures and the circumstances under which they were executed.
Not generally. A notary is supposed to be an independent party who verifies the identity of the person signing a document. The notary is to affix his/her seal as verification that the right person has signed the document. While a clergyman/woman, a dentist or a lawyer can legally be a notary, there is no automatic notary. A notary is not to certify any document that may result in benefit to the notary.
A notary does not notarize a document. A notary notarizes a signature. The notary is not prohibited from notarizing a family member's signature.
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. The Notary will stamp, date, and sign the document. You can usually find a Notary at a local bank. A Notary will normally charge you a small fee.
If the document is being signed in the state in which they have Notary power then it is a valid notarization regardless of where the document is ultimately utilized.
No. The whole purpose of the notary is to ensure that the person signing the document is competent and knows what they are signing. That is why a notary can not notarize a document unless the signer is in the physical presence of the notary. If a notary affixes his or her stamp to a document, knowing that the person is incoherent and does not understand the document, the notary is guilty of a felony in most states.
The notary is not certifying the document, only the signature. He has to check the signer's identification and watch him sign the document.
A notary witnesses and verifies (with legal identification required by the actually person who needs a notary verification or jurad) that the person signing a document that requires a notary is actually the legal person signing the document.
A notary does not notarize a document. A notary notarizes a signature. The notary is not prohibited from notarizing a family member's signature.

Notary Public's can notarize any document they are presented with. It is up to the holder of the document to determine whether that notarization will stand up, or not, wherever it is presented - NOT the Notary's.
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.
