Official witness signer
A public notary, more commonly called a notary public, is an official authorized to witness signatures, administer oaths, and certify documents.
In the United States, notaries verify identity and ensure signers act voluntarily, typically for legal documents like deeds, affidavits, and powers of attorney.
