Public Notary

A public notary is an authorized official, typically a lawyer or specially trained individual, who verifies the authenticity of signatures, documents, and agreements. Their role is to prevent fraud by confirming the identity of signers and ensuring they understand the contents they are signing. Notaries also record the details of each notarization in a ledger. They serve as impartial witnesses in legal transactions such as property transfers, contracts, and affidavits, providing an official stamp or seal that adds credibility and legal validity to the documents.
