What is a Notary Public?
Does having a document notarized make it "official"? What can be notarized?

Hi, Mary! I was wondering if you could answer a question for me? I checked out the link and it made me curious...it states "In either case the signer must be present at the time of notarization". In Utah it is possible (although I have never seen it done) to use what is called a "credible witness acknowledgement" wherein someone who the Notary personally knows says that they witnessed someone whom they personally know sign the document. Scary to think of, I know, but I'd like to know your thoughts on that? Thanks!

Amy,
I have not read Utah law so can not say anything on that other than --tha law needs to be changed if that is the correct meaning of it.
In Tennessee we can use a credible witness, two actually, to prove identity of the person signing if they do not have any other to prove who they are.
