Documents are notarized to deter fraud and to create a public record. Once a document is signed a Notary Public, whi is an impartial and responsible public official, it could be recorded by a county clerk, entered as evidence in a courtroom proceeding, or used in other legal and government functions. A Notary Public also takes steps to confirm the identity of the signers when neccessary.
