Notary

In North Carolina, a Notary Public is an impartial witness who verifies identities, prevents fraud, and ensures the integrity of legal documents. Their duties include administering oaths and affirming statements. Electronic Notaries (e-Notaries) extend these responsibilities to digital transactions, maintaining the same standards of security and authenticity.
