Being a Notary in New York — What’s the Experience Really Like

Hello notary.


Suddenly a little puppy appeared.


Hello notary. Hello everyone.


It’s raining today in New York, but I’m heading out of the office because today I’m going to serve as a notary public to assist a very important client in Long Island City with the notarization of legal documents. Let’s go.


Let me show you all what’s in my notary kit. The most important item is this seal. After the client signs in front of me, I need to apply the notary seal and sign my name.


There’s also this little notebook, which is used to record when and for whom we provide notarization. For each notarization, we record it in this book. That’s how it works.


In New York State notarization, we’re not verifying whether the document itself is true or legally valid. We perform procedural notarization, meaning the person is signing themselves and is not under duress. If they present valid ID and sign in my presence without coercion, as long as the signature happens in front of me, I will notarize it.


Currently notarizing, and my lovely client is signing. The yellow and purple tabs are for him to sign, and the red tab is for me to sign.


Then suddenly a little dog showed up.


New York State notary — notary seal — notarizing...


On the way to the notarization...


Do you have documents that need notarization too?



公证员你好呀。


突然有一只小狗狗出现了。


公证员你好呀,Hello 大家好。


今天纽约下雨,但是我今天要出办公室,因为我今天要去担任公证员的角色,去帮我们在长岛市的一个非常重要的客户做一些法律文件的公证。那我们现在走吧。


给你们大家看一下我的公证包。其实最重要的是这个章,就是客户他在我面前签字之后,我要盖上这个公证的章,然后再签上我的名字。


然后这还有一个小本,主要就是记录一下我们什么时候给谁做公证。每一个公证我们就会拿这个本记一下。这样的。


在纽约州公证,我们公证的并不是说这个文件它是不是真实的或者有效的。我们做的是程序性的公证,也就是说,这个人签字是本人签字,没有被胁迫。如果他给我他的ID,然后他没有被胁迫地签字的话,他只要在我的面前签字,我就会给他做公证。


现在正在公证,然后我可爱的客户正在签字。黄色的、紫色的都是他签的,然后这个红色的是我要签的。


然后突然有一只小狗狗出现了。


纽约州公证员,印章,公证ing...
