What are the powers and duties of a notary?
The notary’s duty as an impartial witness is to ensure that the signer(s) of documents are who they say they are and have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly. In Colorado, notaries are empowered to administer oaths and affirmations, certify copies, and take acknowledgements, depositions, affidavits, verifications, and other sworn testimony or statements. For more information, refer to the Notary Handbook available on our website.
