Documents Required For Notary

Documents Required For Notary is a legal term that refers to the documents that must be presented to a notary public in order to legitimize a document, contract, or other legal transaction. In order for any document or legal transaction to be deemed valid, it must be witnessed and authenticated by a notary public. Depending on the state, certain documents may require additional steps such as having them certified or sworn. To ensure that all documents are properly identified and authorized, the notary public may require the individual(s) involved in the transaction to provide a number of different documents prior to the document being notarized. These documents may include an ID card or driver’s license, proof of current address, a witness statement or signature, and other forms of identification.
