Notarization processes

Notarization is a process where a licensed notary public verifies the identity of a signer and ensures they understand the document they are signing. The notary witnesses the signing in person, checks the signer's identification, and then stamps or seals the document to confirm authenticity. This process helps prevent fraud and provides legal assurance that the signatures are genuine. Essentially, notarization adds a layer of trust and legal validity to documents such as contracts, deeds, or affidavits.
