Notaries are public officials who are appointed by state governments to serve as witnesses for individuals who sign important legal documents such as contracts, real estate leases and affidavits. They verify the identities of document signers to ensure they are who they claim to be. When a person signs a legal document, a Notary must officially attest that they verified the signer’s identity and the individual was not coerced or forced into signing. In some cases, a Notary Public must administer oaths and affirmations during the document signing process. Notaries work as independent contractors and in legal firms, financial institutions and real estate firms.
