Notary public services are often required when a legal document must be formally witnessed, certified, or verified. Understanding when notarization is necessary can help you prepare the right documents for legal, governmental, or international purposes.
Common situations that may require a notary public include signing powers of attorney, swearing affidavits, certifying true copies of documents, preparing travel consent letters for minors, and authenticating documents for use in other countries.
A notary public is authorized to witness signatures, administer oaths, and certify copies of original documents. Their role is to confirm that the person signing is who they say they are and that the signature is voluntary.
