The Notary shall, as a government officer and public servant, serve all of the public in an honest, fair and unbiased manner. A Notary Public is a state-appointed official who administers oaths and serves as an impartial witness when important documents are signed. Because people have documents notarized to deter fraud, a Notary positively identifies each signer, and then makes sure the signer ha
s entered into the agreement knowingly and willingly. To confirm that a document and its signature are authentic, the Notary affixes his or her signature and official seal to it. And yet, as dentity crimes and homeland security concerns have raised our awareness about the need to protect our personal information from being used against us, the role of today’s Notary Public has become increasingly complex, and the demand for capable and experienced Notaries has never been greater. A Notary Public is a knowledgeable, highly qualified public official.
