Who is a Notary Public?

As an officer of integrity, a Mobile Notary  Public is appointed by the state government — generally by the secretary of state — to serve the community as an impartial witness in a range of official fraud-deterrent acts associated with the signing of vital papers. Notarizations, also known as notarial actions, are formal acts performed by a notary public. In the United States, notaries are appointed by the government as “ministerial” officials. Consequently, they are required to follow written rules rather than exercising extensive personal discretion, as would be the case with a “judicial” official in the same position.

Duties of a Notary Public

A Notary's responsibilities include, among other things, verifying the authentic identity of signers of important documents, as well as their willingness to sign and their grasp of the substance of the document or transaction, before they are executed. As part of the notarization procedure, the Notary may also compel the signer to swear under penalty of perjury that the information included in the document is accurate and correct. In the United States, the notarization of documents such as real estate transactions, wills, and powers of attorney is typically necessary.

The foundation of the Notary Public trust is in their impartiality. They have a moral obligation not to act in circumstances when they have a personal interest in the outcome. The public has confidence that the Notary Public screening responsibilities have not been tainted by personal gain. The impartiality of the Notary also requires that he or she never refuse to serve a person on the basis of their race, nationality, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or status as a non-customer.

The role of Notaries Public is to certify the proper execution of many life-changing documents for the general public, whether those transactions involve the transfer of the real estate, the grant of powers of attorney, a real estate property transaction, the establishment of prenuptial agreements, refinancing your home, signing estate planning documents, or a plethora of other activities that are required to be signed and notarized.

So, for finding a Spanish Speaking Mobile Notary Public closest to your city (Honolulu, Waialua, Haleiwa, Wahiawa, Mililani, Aiea, Laie, Kahuku, etc.), it is important to confirm if the Notary Public is Fluent in Spanish. Additionally, an English translation of the document is best practice to have, in addition to the document in Spanish.

Notarizing in Spanish

Notaries may notarize a document that is written in Spanish, but the Notary phrase would be in English for the purpose of notarizing the document. The Notary Public must be able to comprehend the document in some jurisdictions. They must be able to interact directly with the borrower in any language that they both understand, according to the laws of other jurisdictions. Please familiarize yourself with the regulations of your state and how they apply to notarize documents in a foreign language. If the document is to be notarized in any of the 50 states in the United States, the actual Notary phrase must be in English. Each state has its own official Acknowledgment and Jurat Notarial wording, which the Notary must be familiar with in order to perform their duties. The Notary’s wording can be inserted at the end of the document if it is appropriate. After the document has been completely filled out, the Notary can attach a loose certificate form to the document and affix their seal to the certificate after it has been fully filled out. In states where Notary journals are utilized, signers will be obliged to sign the Notary journal as part of their signature (which includes most states.)
