Notarial Act

A notarial act is a formal procedure performed by a notary public, a person authorized by law to witness signatures and verify identities. This process adds credibility to documents, ensuring they are genuine and properly executed. Typical notarial acts include certifying copies of documents, administering oaths, and acknowledging signatures. The notary public puts their official seal on the document, which helps prevent fraud and provides a layer of assurance that the document can be trusted in legal matters. It’s commonly used for agreements, wills, contracts, and other important legal papers.
