Believe me. Notarizing as an activity is 800 years old, dated back to 1373, and was in existence in Central London. A Notary is a person who has the authority to act as an eyewitness to testify a signature that remains legally valid.
Notarization is a predominant form of legal activity in vogue to authorize property deals, affidavits, contracts, and the general power of attorney (GPA). A notary is a legal professional but not the same as an advocate who represents a client in a court of law.
Notarization is meant to avoid document forgeries. A bank would seek several proofs of evidence to grant an educational or home loan. The signature of the customer in the loan application testifies that the customer has read and agreed to the terms and conditions and s/he is the original beneficiary of the loan or grant.
Notarization of the personal identification of the loan documents of an applicant offers a full proof of evidence to the bank to issue a loan only to the intended applicant to avoid fund mismanagement and discrepancies. A person can authorize a trusted alley for the fund or the property management by issuing a General Power of Attorney (GPA). This authorizes the GPA recipient to buy, sell, mortgage, and invest in shares, and fixed and liquid assets on behalf of the property owner. The property owner notarizes a document to issue a GPA to someone to act on his behalf in his absence.
Under ideal conditions, the person seeking a Notary signature appears physically Infront of the person with valid proof of evidence such as the Passport or a Driving License. A notary testifies the original identity of the person on a stamp paper, which attains legal sanctity. The notary creates a document testifying the identity of the signatory’s age, address, gender, and other identifications like the father or legal heir’s name as genuine and fixes a notary signature with a seal. The notary registers these details in a ledger or a book and issues an acknowledgment for a fee.
