What is the difference between a Notary Public and a Notary Signing Agent?
A Notary Public is an authorized official who certifies signatures, verifies identities,
administers oaths, and ensures the authenticity of legal documents. Their role is
regulated at the state level.
In contrast, a Notary Signing Agent (NSA) is a specialized notary who handles real
estate transaction documents, such as mortgage loan closings. Besides performing
notarial duties, the Signing Agent coordinates the signing and delivery of these
specific documents.
When might a Notary Public be necessary in California?
For procedures like notarizing deeds, drafting wills, forming corporations, or
transferring business ownership rights, a California Notary Public verifies the
identities of all parties involved using official identification.
In Mexico, a Notary Public is a high-ranking official with extensive legal duties,
including drafting and authenticating documents, as well as providing legal advice.
They must be a licensed lawyer and are authorized to perform notarized acts such as
creating deeds and wills.
In California, however, a Notary Public has a more limited role. Their responsibilities
focus on certifying signatures and verifying the identity of signers on legal documents.
They are not authorized to offer legal advice or draft documents, and their function is
regulated at the state level with fewer requirements compared to those in Mexico.
01
Verify a person’s identity.
Verifying that a person is who they claim to be and that they are signing a document willingly, without any pressure, threats, or intimidation, is essential. This is why it’s important to sign important documents in the presence of a Notary Public.
02
Act as a witness to a signature.
A Notary Public is an individual authorized by the state government to witness and
certify signatures. This means the Notary Public verifies the authenticity of a signature
and helps prevent potential fraud.
In the United States, a Notary Public is not required to have a law degree, but they
must be registered in the California Notary Public registry and complete a series of
steps to become certified.
03
Verify the identity of the signer.
A Notary Public is a professional who verifies the identity of the signer and attests to
their intention to sign. They ensure that all parties involved are fully aware of the
content of the documents they are signing and are entering into the agreement
voluntarily.
However, the Notary Public does not verify the validity or legality of the document
itself; their role is limited to confirming the identities of the signers.
