General Notary Documents refer to documents that are not essentially placed under the purview of a notary. These documents may include deeds, contracts, certificates, affidavits, and other legal instruments, which are filed in the presence of a notary public or commissioner of oaths. The notary’s role is to authenticate the identity of individuals executing the document and to verify that all relevant documents have been signed in accordance with the law. By authenticating important documents, a notary public can help ensure that all parties involved are properly safeguarded.
