A notary is a lawyer (though not necessarily so in the United States) or person with legal training who is licensed by the government to perform acts in legal affairs, in particular witnessing signatures on documents. The form that the notarial profession takes varies with local legal systems.[1]
The person who notarizes a legal document is a ânotaryâ or notary public.. This person acts as an official and unbiased witness to the identity of the person who signs the document. The notary uses a special âsealâ or stamp, which helps to prevent fraud and forgery.
