Notary Services

Notarization is the official fraud-deterrent process that assures the parties of a transaction that a document is authentic, and can be trusted. It is a three-part process, performed by a Notary Public, that includes of vetting, certifying and record-keeping. Notarizations are sometimes referred to as “notarial acts.”

A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by by state government to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. I hold license as legal document preparer and a notary for the State of Arizona.

American Notary History Trivia:

Why Notaries Are Appointed by Individual States

Have you ever wondered why notaries are appointed by the states in which they live rather than a central authority in the U.S. that appoints all notaries public? When the original thirteen colonies formed into a union and wrote a constitution under which to operate, nothing was mentioned about appointing notaries in the document.

In the beginning, most state laws said that only men could qualify to serve as notaries! Notably, women were never excluded from appointment to office in New York and a few other states. Some states allowed minors to be eligible for a notary appointment while others said that if you held the office of stockholder, director, cashier, teller, or clerk in any bank or banking institution, you were excluded from being able to serve as a notary public.

By the turn of the century, all states required notaries to execute an oath of office before performing notarial tasks, a practice that is still in effect today.
