notary services

Official signature witnessing

Notary services are the functions performed by a notary public—an official authorized to witness signatures, administer oaths, and certify documents.

These services verify identity and prevent fraud in legal transactions: I need to get these documents notarized before closing on the house.

Banks, shipping stores, and law offices commonly offer notary services for a small fee.
