Absolutely not, that is why if you have already signed a document and you take it to be notorized that the notary ask you to re-sign the document. It clearly states in the legal verbiage, I blank blank certify that I, so and so witnessed the signature or signing of this document. Most importantly, you must find out if the document even had to be notorized. It may have been notorized but it may not even be a legal doc that requires a notary stamp or signature.

Is an affiant and a notary the same thing?

An affiant and a notary are not the same thing. An affiant is the person who signs an affidavit or statement. The notary (often called "notary public") is an official who witnesses the affiant's signature, often by affixing a seal of the state in which the notary is licensed. Note that a notary may not notarize his/her own signature. Therefore, even if an affiant (person who is signing a statement), a separate person who is licensed as a notary must witness and stamp the first affiant's signature. What the notary is notarizing is the person's signature--not the validity of any statement. Is this now clear as mud?
