Documents are notarized to prevent fraud. Here's how to get a notarization.

Step 1: Undergo screening
Undergo screening by the notary. This will involve showing some form of identification, such as a driver's license.

Tip
If you do not have identification, you can use testimony from one or more credible witnesses verifying that you are who you say you are.

Step 2: Present the documents
Present the documents to be notarized to the notary. The documents must commit you in some way, must include your signature, and must be accompanied by a notarial certificate, which is obtained from the notary.

Step 3: Have the notary complete the certificate
Have the notary fill out the notarial certificate and record the action being notarized in a journal.

Step 4: Pay the notary's fee
Pay the notary's fee, which is usually under $10. Now you can get on with your business.

Did You Know?
The office of notary public can be traced to ancient Rome.
