At some point, an individual or a small business owner will most likely require the services of a notary public. The UPS Store and Print Shop of Audubon provides notary public services and is sharing helpful information for those searching for a notary to notarize their documents.
What Is the Purpose of a Notary Public?
According to the National Notary Association, a notary public is a “responsible person appointed by the state government to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths.” The NNA further explains that documents are notarized in order to “increase public trust in transactions and signed documents and to deter fraud. As an impartial witness, the Notary verifies that the signers of documents are who they say they are. The Notary also makes sure that signers have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly. In a society in which business dealings between strangers are the norm, notarization lends integrity to signed documents.”

When visiting the store for notary services, customers will need to bring along all documents that require notarization, as well as a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. Take care to ensure that the name on the photo ID matches the name listed on the document to be notarized. In some cases, signature witnesses may also be required for certain documents, so call The UPS Store and Print Shop beforehand to ensure that the store can provide signature witnesses.
Before documents can be notarized, they must be complete and ready to be signed by the notary. The UPS Store and Print Shop of Audubon, PA, does not provide legal advice in this matter, and the notary is not allowed to assist customers in preparing, completing, or understanding legal documents. The National Notary Association elaborates, “A Notary is prohibited from preparing legal documents or acting as a legal advisor unless they’re also an attorney.” If customers need legal guidance regarding notarization, they should consult with an attorney.
