Why do documents need to be notarized?

Certain documents must be notarized in order to have legal effect. Given the inherent formal and corresponding significance of legal documents that must be notarized, state governments have deemed it necessary to enlist a trained individual to assist with their execution. A “notary public,” following his or her official appointment, performs as a quasi-public officer to attest to the proper execution of these important documents.
