A Notary acts as an official witness appointed by the state government to witness the signing of important documents and to administer oaths. A Notary is authorized to witness or attest a signature, administer an oath or affirmation, certify an oath or affirmation, take acknowledgments, and certify or attest a copy (in limited cases). Every state has their own Notary guidelines and codes, administered and maintained by each Secretary of State.
