- A public notary is an officer who can administer oaths and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate documents and perform certain other acts varying from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
- For the purposes of authentication, most countries require commercial or personal documents which originate from or are signed in another country to be notarized before they can be used or officially recorded or before they can have any legal effect.
- In some countries and states, notaries are required to undergo specific training in the performance of their duties.
- Many must also first serve as an apprentice before being commissioned or licensed to practice their profession.
- Even licensed lawyers (such as barristers or solicitors) must go through additional specialized notarial training and apprenticeship, in many countries, before being allowed to practice the profession of a notary.
