notarized contract

Certified legal document

A notarized contract is an agreement that has been officially witnessed and certified by a notary public, who verifies the identities of the signers and confirms they signed voluntarily.

Notarization doesn't change the contract's content but adds a layer of authentication that can deter fraud and strengthen the document's validity in court: The bank required a notarized contract for the loan.
