Notary Services
Notary services provide businesses and individuals with a trusted way to authenticate important documents. A notary public serves as an impartial witness in the signing process, helping to deter fraud and ensure that documents are executed properly.
How It Works:
- Document Verification: The notary verifies the signers identity and confirms they are signing willingly.
- Witnessing & Acknowledgment: The notary observes the signature, then applies their official seal or stamp to certify authenticity.
- Recordkeeping: A record of the notarized act is maintained for compliance and legal reference.
