The appropriate location for the notary stamp is to the side or immediately underneath the notary's signature. The stamp should never be above the signature.
The stamp goes next to or near the notary's signature. It should NOT cover any text or signature on the document, including the notary's signature and the stupid "notary seal goes here" statement.
In the U.S., the notary's stamp or seal is affixed next to their signature or immediately underneath their signature, in the appropriate notarial certificate. Notaries can not simply "sign and stamp" without appropriate notary wording already provided on the document.

Most banks have a notary and that guarantees your signature.
To certify a signature, you can have it notarized by a notary public. The notary will verify your identity and witness you signing the document, then stamp or seal it to confirm its authenticity.
Yes. The signature is indication that the notary performed a notarial act (either an oath or an acknowledgment). The stamp only provides proof that the person is a notary. The stamp does not prove anything other than the notary's commission status.
No, it is not the same. A signature that is merely witnessed by some other person is referred to as an "attested" signature. A notarized signature is where the signature is witnessed by a notary public with the notary affixing the appropriate stamp and seal on the document that was signed.If the claim form simply has another line for a witness to sign, it does not have to be by a notary unless the claim form specifically states that it must be by a notary.
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.
No. The reason why a notary is needed to avoid this kinds of fraud. Both named parties need to be present and sign the notaries journal also.

Notarized Signatures are merely a signature that has been signed in front of a Notary Public. The Notary then signs beneath and stamps the document with a Notary Seal, which informs everyone the signature has been 'validated' as being the actual signature of the individual(s) who are signing the document. They appear something like this: Before me, a notary public in and for the said County and State, personally appeared the above named (Signer's Name) who acknowledged that he/she did sign the foregoing instrument and that the same is his/her free and voluntary act and deed. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and official seal this _____ day of ________, 200____. ___________________________________ Notary Public My commission expires _______________________ {NOTARY SEAL} If you need your signature notarized keep in mind that most Notary Public usually charge a small fee for notarizing documents. Most banking institutions will also have a Notary that can notarize signatures on documents. Some banks will offer this service to it's customers for free. You shouldn't have to spend more than a few bucks to get something notarized.
NO, NO, NO. I can not believe that you are an actual notary and asked such a question. As a Florida notary you may only notarize within the geographical boundaries of Florida. Therefore, if you are in New York, you have no authority to act as a Notary Public.
