The Basics of Being a Notary Public?
A notary public, also referred to as a public notary, is classified as a public officer who serves the public in non-controversial matters. These matters are typically those involving estates, deeds, powers-of-attorney, and other business issues. The main function of a notary public in the United States is to act as an impartial witness when important documents are being signed. After witnessing the signatures of both parties, it is the notary public’s responsibility to sign and affix their seal to the document. Other duties that may be assigned to notary publics vary from state to state, and a notary is only allowed to perform his or her duties in his or her home state. Although a notary public serves an important role in state law, it is fairly simple to become a notary. In most states, all that is required is for an interested individual to fill out the necessary paperwork and pay a nominal fee. After the appropriate paperwork and notary public application have been submitted, the acceptance committee will review it and the individual will most likely be approved to become a notary public. In some states, the interested person may also be required to pass an examination or take certain classes. Typically everyone who submits an application is approved to become a notary as long as they do not have a felony conviction on their record. Notary publics are far less regulated in the United States than in other countries. This is mainly because, in the United States, these people have no legal authority. They do not offer legal advice or prepare any sort of legal documents. They also cannot help an individual to decide how a document should be signed or notarized. The only function they serve is to bear witness to the signing of a document. Notary publics who unlawfully engage in the practice of law can be prosecuted by the state, as they have no license to practice law.
