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]
In the United States, generally speaking, a notary public is a person appointed by a state government (often the governor or the secretary of state of the state, or in some cases the state legislature) to serve the public as an impartial witness.anks will often have a notary public on staff to notarize documents for their clients. In addition, mail box companies often have a Notary Public on hand with the fees varying by state. Most state web sites have online information on notary regulations and may provide resources on finding a notary as well.
