What is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public, also referred to as a Notary, is an admitted attorney who has acquired additional expertise and written a notarial practice admission exam.  As a result, they have been given statutory and common law powers to prepare and attest certain specialized legal documents, administer oaths and perform other administrative functions on a national and international level.
