Notary Public and Notary Stamps: Important to Certify Legal Papers


Notary Public and Notary Stamp are quite familiar words while we are thinking about attesting any legal documents (applying for passports, reissuing passport, while women are changing name after marriage, paper of adoption of a child, making will, diplomas, employment letters, police clearances, powers of attorney, transcripts etc.) in any legal way, taking help from those people or officials who are authorized by the Government to certify these legal papers.

A Notary Public means any state official who is appointed by that state government to sign important documents, to administer oaths and affirmations, certify legal documents, and in some states to write affidavits, depositions, and protests as a witness. The origin of notary public is traced so many years before in ancient Rome. During that time a small number of people knew about how to serve people in legal way. But now-a- days in modern times, a small fee is charged for these services.

Notary Stamp is a public official that is used to minimize fraud in legal documents while administering oaths and attesting to signatures are taking place by officials to serve people. Here a stamp is a distinctive mark or impression that made upon an object, a device used to make stamp, or a distinctive sticker applied to an object. Generally, notary stamp and notary seal is same thing and people used to notary seal as a reference to an embossing or raised seal.

The notarizing process is pretty simple. The person who wants his or her signature notarized must have to present sufficient evidence to prove his or her identity, and then have to sign the necessary document with the notary as a witness. The notary completes its process by stamping or sealing, dating, and signing the document. This face-to-face procedure is more authentic because it helps to ensure the authenticity of the signature.

In U.S. states, a notary official can only affix their stamp or seal next to their signature in a notarial certificate for acknowledgment. Notary officials cannot sign and stamp without provided appropriate documents. The signature here indicates that the notary official performed a notarial act either an oath or an acknowledgment. The stamp doesn't provide any notarial act rather it provides proof that the parson is a notary.

A notary official has two main responsibilities: one is properly attesting documents to minimize fraud; and second is this signature attestation must be done in a face-to-face setting.Signer must personally come to the notary public but in some states another person can come, swear as a third party signed the document, I found some benefit here if anyone is really busy and cannot come to face-to-face sitting.
