NOTARIZE Meaning and
Definition
-
Notarize means to certify or authenticate a document by an authorized notary public, affixing their official seal or signature to confirm its authenticity. The act of notarizing a document involves a notary public witnessing the signing of a document, verifying the identity of the signatories, and ensuring that they are signing willingly and knowingly.
A notary public is an individual appointed by a government authority to serve as an impartial witness who performs various legal formalities. They play a crucial role in the legal system by preventing fraud and ensuring the integrity of legal documents. Notarization provides an additional layer of assurance to the parties involved, attesting that the document is legitimate, valid, and accurately executed.
The notarization process typically involves the notary public confirming the identity of the individuals signing the document by checking their identification documents, such as a driver's license or passport. Upon verifying identities, the notary public will have the individual sign the document in their presence. They then affix their official seal or signature, along with the date and location of notarization.
Notarization is commonly required for various legal documents, including affidavits, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, contracts, and deeds. It serves as proof that the document is in conformity with the law and has been legally executed. Notarized documents are often accepted in courts, government offices, and financial institutions as valid and binding evidence.
