What is a Notary Public And What Does It Do?

A notary public exists so as to help prevent and avoid fraudulent activity. Michigans Secretary of State website defines a notary public as an officer commissioned by the Michigan Secretary of State.

A notary public must identify and confirm that those who sign a document are who they say they are or appear to be. A notary public must confirm one’s identity by reviewing a driver’s license, passport, or personal identification card. If none of these documents are available. A notary public may also confirm one’s identity through another person who provides an oath or affirmation that they have personal knowledge that the person signing a document is who he/she claims to be. The document must be signed in the notary public’s presence, and then the notary public must sign and date the document, identify the county of appointment, and provide the expiration date of her or her commission. Our Sterling Heights location provides notary services to our clients for their convenience.
