A Notary Public is a qualified official who confirms that a signature is genuine, that a copy matches its original, or that a person is who they say they are – and certifies it with a seal, a signature and a notarial certificate. The receiving party trusts that certificate, at home and abroad.
A Notary Public is a person authorized by law to certify signatures, administer oaths and certify copies. The purpose is to prevent fraud.
In England and Wales, notaries are regulated by the Master of the Faculties. In the US, each state commissions its own notaries.
A notary is impartial and does not give legal advice. The notary certifies the act, not whether your document is true.

A notary public is an official who acts as an impartial witness when important documents are signed. They check your identity, confirm that you are signing willingly, and certify the document with a seal, signature and notarial certificate. The certificate tells the recipient that the signature or copy can be trusted.
The purpose is to prevent fraud. By verifying the signer's identity and willingness and recording the act in a notarial certificate, a notary gives banks, courts, employers and authorities – at home and abroad – confidence that a signature, oath or copy is genuine.
It depends on the country. In England and Wales, notaries are authorised legal professionals regulated by the Master of the Faculties and can also prepare legal documents such as deeds. In the US, most notaries are not lawyers and cannot give legal advice. In every case, the notary certifies the act, not the content of your document.

Yes. The notarial act is the same as in person, carried out by a qualified Notary Public, and the certificate states how your identity was verified. Banks, employers, universities, registries and authorities abroad accept it.
No. A guided identity verification with a biometric and ID check replaces the in-person meeting. The whole process is online. If your receiving party asks for a UK Notary Public, UK Notarization includes a short video call with a UK Notary Public.
Within 24 hours of identity verification for most documents. Educational records and some corporate documents take longer because they are verified with the issuing institution.
