Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What Is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public is an official commissioned by the state to serve as an impartial witness during the signing of important documents. Their role is to prevent fraud by verifying the identity of signers, confirming they are signing willingly, and ensuring they understand the documents they are signing.

Notaries are commonly called upon for real estate transactions, powers of attorney, wills, affidavits, medical directives, business agreements, and more. In some cases, notaries may also administer oaths or affirmations as part of the process.

At Elite Notary Signing, we take this responsibility seriously. Our notaries — certified, bonded, insured, and background checked — uphold the highest standards of care, accuracy, and professionalism. Whether you need a notary locally or across the nation, our team ensures your documents are handled the right way, every time.
