A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by state government — typically by the secretary of state — to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. These official acts are called notarizations, or notarial acts. Notaries are publicly commissioned as "ministerial" officials, meaning that they are expected to follow written rules without the exercise of significant personal discretion, as would otherwise be the case with a "judicial" official.

An apostille is a certificate that a document has been signed by a public official, such as a notary, and that it is genuine. The certificate is then attached to the document to verify its authenticity. Apostilles are commonly used for documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and court judgments. In order to obtain an apostille, the document must first be certified by a designated official. Apostilles are used for documents that will be used in another country, so that the receiving country will recognize the document as valid.
