Wait, What Do Notaries Actually Do?

Wait, What Do Notaries Actually Do?

You might have heard of notaries before—maybe from a movie scene where someone dramatically slaps a stamp on a paper. Or maybe you’ve just seen a “Notary Public” sign and thought, “What’s their deal?” Well, friend, it’s time to pull back the curtain on the mysterious world of notaries.

The Notary’s Superpower: Authenticating Signatures

At its core, a notary public is a trusted, impartial witness. Our main job? To make sure the person signing a document is actually who they say they are—and that they’re signing willingly and knowingly. Think of us as the human lie detector for paperwork (minus the fancy machine).

Why Does This Matter?

Because official documents mean business—buying a house, starting a business, or even granting power of attorney. If signatures were free-for-all, chaos would reign. Notaries keep things honest, safe, and legally sound.

What Kind of Documents Do We Notarize?

Here’s the not-so-boring list:

• Deeds and property transfers (hello, house hunters!)

• Powers of attorney (giving someone else the power to act for you)

• Affidavits (sworn statements)

• Wills and trusts (making sure your legacy is legit)

• Business contracts (keeping deals airtight)

And that’s just the start. We’re basically the gatekeepers of document trust.

But Wait, There’s More!

Some notaries (like yours truly) offer mobile services, coming to you—whether on your porch, at your office, or online! Remote Online Notarization (RON) is changing the game. You can get your docs notarized from your couch in pajamas. Yes, really.

What Notaries Don’t Do

Just to clear up a few things (because confusion loves to hang around official documents), here’s what not to expect from your notary:

• We don’t give legal advice. (No “sign here or else” warnings from me!)

• We don’t draft your documents, just notarize what you bring.

• We don’t notarize incomplete documents or those with blank spaces.

So, Why Use a Notary?

Because when your important documents need to be trusted, legal, and rock-solid, a notary is your best friend. We’re here to make sure the paperwork side of life is smooth and stress-free.
