A notary public in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is an appointed official who acts as an impartial witness and helps defend against fraud. In Pennsylvania, a notary public is empowered to perform six official acts: taking an acknowledgment, administering an oath or affirmation, taking a verification on oath or affirmation (includes an affidavit), witnessing or attesting a signature, certifying or attesting a copy or deposition, and noting a protest of a negotiable instrument. Both electronic and remote notaries must have current commissions and use technology from a state-approved vendor.

  • A notary public in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is an appointed official who acts as an impartial witness and helps defend against fraud. In Pennsylvania, a notary public is empowered to perform six official acts: taking an acknowledgment, administering an oath or affirmation, taking a verification on oath or affirmation (includes an affidavit), witnessing or attesting a signature, certifying or attesting a copy or deposition, and noting a protest of a negotiable instrument. A notary is strictly prohibited from giving legal advice or drafting legal documents such as contracts, mortgages, leases, wills, powers of attorney, liens or bonds. There are more than 77,200 notaries in the state; of that, 1,136 have also been approved by the secretary of the commonwealth to notarize electronically. With electronic notarization, the notary and customer are in the same room. The notary properly identifies the customer through personal knowledge, satisfactory evidence or with a credible witness. The notary and customer use a computer to complete the notarization and sign an electronic document. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Department of State permitted notaries to temporarily perform remote online notarizations. Remote online notarizations also include an electronic document, but the notarization occurs over the internet using state-approved audiovisual technology. The notary is in one location, the customer is in another location. Both electronic and remote notaries must have current commissions and use technology from a state-approved vendor. (en)
