DOES a notarized document become a binding contract?
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.

What does a notorized copy look like?
It looks exactly like whatever it is copied from. These days notarized copies start out as photocopies of the original document. To this a notary attaches either a paragraph explaining that this is a true copy of the original, or a separate page stating that it is a true copy. In either case the Notary signs and seals his statement that it is a true copy. It is the signature and seal of the Notary that makes it a Notarized copy. Before photocopying, the Notary would have to make a copy by hand, indication only the words and not any graphics in the original document.

Does a notary have to know what is in the document he is notorizing?
Yes and no. The notary does not need to read every word of the document, and can not advise you as to the legality of the document. However, the notary does have to scan over the document for several purposes: (1) to ensure that there are no blank spaces; (2) to determine which type of notarial act is necessary; (3) to record the document description in his or her journal; (4) to ensure that the document does not require the notary to perform an act he is not authorized to do; (5) to determine that the underlying transaction does not appear to be fraudulent on its face. A notary need not be a lawyer and is not expected to know the detailed contents of a document. A notary does not need to know what a document says, what a document does, or whether the document is legal. A notary cannot tell you what kind of notarization your document requires. The document is presented to the notary, the notary crosses out any blank or incomplete areas, verifies the identities of the signers/signatures, and then performs a notarial act - either an acknowledgment or an oath - and that's it. If the document appears to be blatantly fraudulent or the notary suspects fraud or duress, the notary can refuse the notarizaton. The purpose of a notary is to verify that the person executing the document is signing it voluntarily, or that he/she took an oath that the contents of the document are true and correct. Notarization also verifies the identity of a person who appears before the notary, or that a copy of a document is true to the original. The purpose of having a document notarized is either (1) to assure that the people signing said document did so willingly or swore that the document is correct, and that they are who they say they are or (2) to assure people that a copy of a document is a true copy of the original. An affidavit, a type of notarized statement, is similar to speaking in court. Upon signing an affidavit, the signer swears by oath or affirmation that the words in the document are his/her words. The notary verifies that the person is who they claim to be and must witness the signature hitting the paper.

Can a New Jersey notary perform a wedding?
Although there is no specific statute/law addressing this matter, it is best to never act in a notary capacity if you are involved in the transaction taking place. In other words, if your name is included in the document or when a family member (including your spouse) or close affiliate is named, you should refuse to notarize (this is especially true if you stand to gain any pecuniary interest from the transaction). Note that the failure to do so can result in the notarization being challenged and/or cancelled at a later date, and in most states, if a court of law determines that the notary was an interested party, the executed document could be rendered worthless and the notary may also be charged with wrongdoing. The National Notary Association publishes "The Notary Public Code for Professional Responsibility," (similar to how there's the Model Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys) which is and should generally be followed in carrying out your responsibilities and duties as a notary.
Can a Notary and Power of Attorney be one in the same?

Is an apostille a notary?
Good question! An apostille and a notary are related but not the same thing. A notary is someone who verifies signatures on documents, making sure that the person signing is who they say they are, and they can also witness the signing of legal documents. An apostille, on the other hand, is a special certificate attached to a document to confirm that it’s been properly notarized (or officially certified) so that it’s recognized internationally. It's mainly used for countries that are part of the Hague Convention, and it essentially makes the document valid and accepted in another country. So, while a notary is about certifying a signature, an apostille is about ensuring that notarized documents are valid in international situations. Hope that clears things up!

Here are the participants to the making of a formal will in just about every state: 1. Testator: the person whose will it is. 2. Executor: the person who is designated to administer the estate of the testator. 3. Witnesses: the persons who observe the testator signing the will to verify it (the number of witnesses and who they can be varies from state to state). 4. Notary: the official whose signature and seal is a verification that the testator signed the will and the witnesses witnessed the will, in accordance with local law.
