Home » Notary Services » Signature Witnessing
Signature witnessing is a notarial act where the notary public verifies the identity of the signer and witnesses them signing the document. It provides an extra layer of authenticity and helps prevent fraud in legally binding documents. This process is often used for documents such as contracts, affidavits, deeds, and consent forms.
The notary ensures the signer is acting willingly and understands the document’s purpose. Signature witnessing is valuable for protecting all parties involved and adds legal credibility to the signed document. It differs from acknowledgment or jurat by requiring the notary to be physically present during the act of signing. In organizational settings, HR, legal, and compliance departments must manage sensitive records and employee agreements.
