What is a Notary Public

A California Notary Public is a person of required honesty, credibility, truthfulness and integrity appointed by the State of California to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of acts related to the signing of important documents, taking oaths and affirmations and performing other acts authorized by law (GC 8201.1 and 8205).

When a Notary notarizes for a signer, the Notary's job as an impartial witness is to do certain things such as authenticate a person's identity and verify that the person signed the document.  

A Notary Public is an official whose purpose is to serve the public in an unbiased manner.  The Notary's right to act as an official witness is granted through a written authorization call a "commission" which must be renewed every four years.   A California Notary Public's jurisdiction is statewide.

Ref: National Notary Association Reference Guide

A California Notary Public is not allowed to give legal advice.

I never knew that the right of the Notary to act as an official witness is conferred by a formal license known as a "commission," which must be renewed every four years. I never thought that it would be like this, I'll share this with my aunt. Thank you for the information about the notary public.

It was interesting when you pointed out that a notary public is an administrator whose obligation is to aid the public in a neutral manner. My friend requires some notarial acts for the business that he's planning to start. I think it's best to opt for a mobile notary public since he's looking for a hassle-free transaction.

Thank you for mentioning that the notary's role as an unbiased witness entails carrying out certain tasks, including confirming a person's identification and confirming that the individual signed the document. My dad wants to purchase a piece of property. I'll locate a notary for him to use to sign his documents.

It's helpful to learn that a notary helps authenticate a person's identity and signature. Next month, my parents are selling their house and buying a beach condo, so it seems like they need to find a notary to help with their transaction paperwork, and I believe your insight will help them know more about the process. Thank you.

This article does a great job of explaining the role of a notary public and why their services are important. I particularly appreciate how the author emphasizes the need to ensure that a notary public is reputable and trustworthy before using their services. The author provides a clear and concise definition of a notary public, which can be useful for anyone who may not be familiar with the concept.
