Notaries lend credibility to the authenticity of certain sensitive signed documents. A notarized document lends assurance to the public that it’s signer is the person who signed the document - and to the signer that the document they have signed will have full force and effect. Notary publics cannot use their title (notario publico, notaria, consultoria) to imply that they are authorized to practice law. The law now prevents a literal translation of “notary public” into a language other than English in advertisements. A notary signing agent (NSA) may take an examination to test and show their knowledge of the correct loan document signing procedures and the Notary Public laws of their state.
