A common law notary public is a public officer appointed by law to serve the public by taking acknowledgments of the signers of such legal documents as deeds, mortgages, agreements and Wills. If a document has been notarized that means it carries the acknowledgment of a notary public at the end of the document. Generally, the notary confirms the identity of the signer, witnesses the signing of the document, confirms the signer is acting of their own free will and dates the acknowledgment.
