"A Notary Public is a public servant appointed by state government to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths.”
What Does a Fresno Notary Public Actually DO?
A California notary public’s duties are specifically defined by the California Secretary of State. These duties include:
1) Ensuring that the document signer(s) appears IN PERSON
2) Ensuring that the document signer(s) is appropriately identified
3) Administering an oath/affirmation, if required
Why Do You Need to Have a Document Notarized?
Typically notary public is required:
1) To deter fraud
2) To ensure a document is executed properly
3) To create a formal record of the notary act performed
4) To act as an impartial witness during document execution
5) To ensure that minimum standards are met for document execution
In addition to notary acts that involve documents, a notary public is also authorized to administer oaths/affirmations. Similar to taking an oath in court, the person taking an oath/affirmation may be subject to criminal perjury penalties if it is found they didn’t tell the truth.
We offer on-site services as well as mobile/traveling services to hospitals, nursing homes, business offices, jail clearance, etc.
