It depends on the type of contract.
A contract usually does NOT have to be notarized. Any private contracts for sales of goods or services do not require a notary signature. Additionally, some court papers, such as petitions and motions do not have to be notarized since the person filing the form is usually the person who drafted it. With a few states as exceptions, divorce papers do not require a notarized signature either.
There is a requirement that certain documents be notarized, such as a real property deed (such as would be for a house or apartment). Unless specifically required by state or municipal law, a contract does not have to be acknowledged before a notary public.
Of course, this is not a true legal opinion. If you have a specific contract and you wish to assess its validity, please bring it to a lawyer. Also note that this Answer from WikiAnswers does not create Attorney-Client privilege nor can it be considered true legal advice.

The notary seal and notary's signature does not make a document a binding contract. The signatures on a contract can be notarized.

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.
