Lets start off with clarifying something about Notary Republic and that is the has been a tendency to misspell public as republic. How did this happen, well to learn that a trip back in time is on order the most likely source of the misunderstanding and misspelling to occur. The position of a notary can be traced back in history to the Roman Republic, making it possibly the oldest legal profession. The job goes back time frame of 106 to 43 B.C. and back then people working in this profession were referred to as scriba (Latin for scribe) another definition used was notarius (Latin for notary). The profession and the words used to describe the work date back to the ancient past and likely is one place we get the use of the word ‘Republic’ instead of ‘public’.

History lesson aside there is more information about what this person’s role is and how it plays out in today’s document. The position in the common law word is that of a public officer. A notary public is expected to serve the public in non-bias manner, regarding all sorts of maters that focus around several different interest. These types of interest can range from things like; estates and deeds to things like powers of attorney. Finally they may deal with foreign and international business (this of course could depend upon many different factors as to which type of work might be done). Location of where one is located in a given county, state or the country will likely determine the type of work brought to them in many cases. Unless the notary is one of growing mobile notary group that travels around or comes to a specific business location per request.

More descriptive the job of a notary public is to administer oaths and affirmations, also to take affidavits and statutory declarations. Further this may include serving witness and authenticate a certain type or types of documents. What else might one find this person doing, such things as acknowledgement of deeds, provide notice of foreign drafts and provide examples and notarial copies. Further duties will depend on the jurisdiction as to what other official acts may be expected. When preforming these duties it is known as notarization. A definition to the term notary public, only refers to common-law notaries. Need more details, visit http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/notary/ to get them.

Often call Notary Republic, it is really called a Notary Public. Republic might be a common mistake because the word Republic is a government type term. But it is Notary Public not Notary Republic.

Notary Publics' are regulated by the Secretary of State for each individual state. Therefore, a notary may only do notaries physically in the state in which they are licensed.

To find a notary that did a past notarization, look at the SEAL (stamp) on the document. Contact the county recorder in the state of the county that is on the seal.

There are two main types of notaries. They are civil law notary and a public notary. A public notary deals with paperwork outside of the law while civil notaries deal with matters that deal with law.
