What Does a Notary Do?
The Role of a Notary Public
A notary public is an impartial witness authorized by the state to oversee the signing of important documents. Their duties go beyond stamping paper — they verify the identity of signers, confirm willingness to sign, and ensure all parties understand the contents of the document.
Core Responsibilities of a Notary
- Identity verification – Confirming the signer’s identity through government-issued identification.
- Witnessing signatures – Observing the signing process to confirm authenticity.
- Administering oaths or affirmations – Ensuring truthfulness in sworn statements.
- Maintaining records – Keeping a notary journal for accountability and legal protection.
Why Document Validation Matters
Legal Recognition and Enforceability
A notarized document holds greater weight in court or official proceedings. Without a notary’s seal, certain documents may be challenged or outright rejected.
Fraud Prevention
Notaries deter fraudulent activity by verifying the signer’s identity and confirming that signatures are genuine and willingly given.
Peace of Mind
Knowing your documents are properly validated by Anshin Mobile Notary and LiveScan gives you confidence that they meet all necessary legal standards.
Common Documents That Require a Notary
Real Estate Transactions
From property deeds to mortgage agreements, notarization ensures real estate deals are legally binding and enforceable.
Powers of Attorney (POA)
Because POAs grant significant authority to another person, notarization verifies the authenticity and seriousness of the arrangement.
Wills and Estate Planning
Notarized wills, trusts, and estate documents help protect your intentions from being disputed in probate court.
Business Contracts
For business partnerships, shareholder agreements, and service contracts, notarization adds an extra layer of trust and credibility.
Adoption and Immigration Papers
Legal processes involving identity, citizenship, or guardianship often require notarized verification to meet federal and state requirements.

FAQs About Notarization
1. Why do I need a notary for my document?
A notary adds legal credibility, prevents fraud, and ensures your document will be accepted by courts, banks, and government agencies.
2. Can I notarize a document online?
In some states, remote online notarization is legal. However, California currently requires in-person notarization.
3. What ID is required for notarization?
A valid government-issued ID with a photograph, signature, and physical description — such as a driver’s license or passport — is required.
4. How long does notarization take?
Typically, the process takes just a few minutes, provided you have all necessary documents and IDs ready.
5. Does notarization make a document legal?
Notarization verifies the authenticity of a signature, but it does not make an illegal document valid. The content must still comply with the law.
