An Affidavit Notary is an official witness that certifies the authenticity of documents. It ensures the validity and accuracy of signatures to legal contracts, deeds, and other documents. To become a notary public, one must pass a test administered by the state they are applying in, as well as be of good character and moral standing. Notaries strive to provide reliable, impartial, and secure services that uphold the social and legal standards of their community. They also ensure compliance with each state’s specific laws and regulations, which helps protect individuals and organizations from fraudulent or illegal activities.
