Notary Services in Redondo Beach

When it comes to the most critically important documents in our society it is often necessary to have them notarized to allow them to gain the legal status necessary to make them official. This is why it is necessary for a notary public to officially notarize certain documents before they hold any value at all.

The Role of a Notary Public

The work of a notary public is to administer oaths as well as take depositions, affidavits, and acknowledgments. Essentially, anything that requires an official document to be entered into the record falls under the umbrella of the work that a notary public does.

A: According to the National Notary Association, a notary public is a public servant appointed by state government to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths. 

Q: What does a notary public notarize?

A: A notary public notarizes any document in which an originator needs to ensure the integrity of the signer.  A notary public verifies the identity of the signer, and that they are signing knowingly and willingly.  This process helps deter the fraudulent execution of documents.

Q: How does a notary verify the identity of the signer?

A: A notary will ask a signer for a document such as a driver’s license or government-issued identification card that includes a photograph, signature and some information describing the person.
