What is the Job of a Local Notary?

Local notaries are lawyers or public officials who notarize documents for their community.

Notaries are notaries public. They are lawyers, law students and other public officials appointed by the state to notarize documents. Notaries have been around since ancient Greece; in fact, there were so many disputes over whether a person could be trusted to act as a witness that it became necessary for someone else to verify their identity and ensure they were telling the truth when they made an oath before signing an affidavit or deposition.

Notary Publics are authorized by their state government to administer oaths (swearing under penalty of perjury) and certify copies of documents for use in court proceedings or administrative matters such as tax records; however, not all states require that every applicant pass an exam before becoming certified as one – some simply require them complete some coursework and pay fees associated with having this designation issued by authorities within government agencies responsible for issuing licenses/permits etcetera…

A notary public is an individual who has been appointed by the state to serve as an impartial witness to the signing of certain legal documents and take acknowledgments (swearings) from those who sign them. They also have the power to administer oaths and affirmations in their capacity as an impartial witness and official recorder of those proceedings.

Notaries are often confused with lawyers or judges because they perform similar duties but do not provide legal advice or act in place of attorneys when drafting legal documents like wills or contracts for clients who come into their offices seeking assistance with such matters.

Local notaries sign and witness documents in everyday life

Notaries are often confused with lawyers because they both have “notary” in their titles; however there are important differences between these professions:

• Lawyers represent people in courtrooms as part of their jobs; but notaries do not represent anyone except themselves (and sometimes businesses).
• Lawyers give legal advice about what should be done in certain situations; while it’s possible for some local notaries to provide legal advice if they have taken additional courses beyond those required by law school graduates (though most don’t).
