A notary public, often called a notary, is an official authorized by the state to serve as an impartial witness in the signing of important documents. Their role is to help prevent fraud and ensure that signatures are authentic and voluntary.

• Administering Oaths and Affirmations: Legally confirming that a person swears to tell the truth.
   
• Certifying Copies of Documents: Attesting that copies of original documents are accurate.

Yes — Rayae Notary Services LLC offers Remote Online Notarization (RON) under Florida law. 

Here’s how it works:
