Do all signatures need to be notarized?

No—not all signatures need notarization, only those required by law or the receiving party. In California, a notary public is used to verify identity and witness signatures on specific types of documents. Many everyday documents can be signed without a notary, while others—such as certain legal, financial, or real estate documents—may require notarization.
The easiest way to know if your document needs notarization is to check for a notarial certificate (such as an acknowledgment or jurat) or confirm with the person or organization requesting the document.
