• Why would I need a notary public?

2
Answer

• For certain documents, it is important to verify
  that the person signing the document actually
  signed the document. A notary acts in that case
  like a professional witness. . .

3

• In some situations, a non-notary witness will
  suffice, but for certain important documents it
  may be necessary to have a notary act as a
  witness . . .

4

• Some documents even require the swearing of an
  oath, or the making of a solemn declaration. For
  those documents, a notary is qualified to
  administer the oath or declaration. . .

5

• If the person making the oath or declaration
  gives false evidence in the document, he or she
  may be found guilty of perjury, which is a
  criminal offence. . .

6

• A notary can also certify that a copied document
  is a true copy of an original document. In order
  to do this, the notary must see the original
  document to confirm that the copy is indeed a
  true copy. . .

7

• In these cases, the notary is not typically
  confirming that the contents of the document
  itself are accurate, but simply that the copy is
  an accurate copy of the original.
