Notaarisia

Notaarisia is a term that refers to notary publics. A notary public is a public official appointed by a government, typically a state or provincial government, to serve as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official acts. These acts are most commonly related to the signing of important documents. The primary functions of a notary public include administering oaths and affirmations, taking acknowledgments, certifying copies of documents, and witnessing the execution of documents. Their role is to prevent fraud and ensure the proper execution of documents.

The specific powers and duties of a notary public vary by jurisdiction. In some legal systems, notaries have more extensive roles, such as drafting legal documents, while in others, their function is strictly limited to witnessing signatures and verifying identities. In many common law jurisdictions, the role of a notary public is distinct from that of a lawyer, although some individuals may be qualified in both professions. The process of becoming a notary public usually involves an application, often a background check, and sometimes a period of training or an examination. Notaries are typically required to maintain a seal or stamp which they use to authenticate their official acts. Their services are often sought for documents such as property deeds, wills, affidavits, and powers of attorney.
