A notary is a lawyer (though not necessarily so in the United States) or person with legal training who is licensed by the government to perform acts in legal affairs, in particular witnessing signatures on documents. The form that the notarial profession takes varies with local legal systems.[1]
The English notary is still an ecclesiastical officer, although his duties are mainly secular, having at one time been appointed by the Pope and subsequently by the Archbishop of. Canterbury. On October 25, 1639, Thomas Fugill, a member of Connecticut's New Haven. Colony, became the first notary public in America.
