In a legal document, the notary section typically includes the phrase "at" followed by a location, indicating where the notarization took place. This specifies the jurisdiction, confirming that the notary has the authority to act within that geographic area. The notary section also includes the notary's signature, seal, and the date of notarization, which authenticate the document and affirm that the signers were properly identified and acknowledged their signatures.
