What is a Notarized Contract?
A notarized contract is a written agreement that has been signed in the presence of a notary public. The notary confirms the identity of each signer and ensures they are signing voluntarily and with full understanding. This extra layer of validation helps protect both parties and makes the agreement more legally binding.
Who Needs a Notarized Contract?
Notarized contracts are commonly required by:
Small business owners
Landlords and tenants
Freelancers and consultants
Individuals entering into loan or payment agreements

If your document involves any type of obligation, money, or long-term agreement, a notarized contract helps avoid future disputes.
