What does it mean to have a signature notarized? 2p4f3x
Signature recognition is a procedure carried out in Notary Public to ensure that a signature on a document actually belongs to the person who signed it. The process is essential to provide greater legal security for contracts and other important documents, preventing fraud and avoiding future questions about the authenticity of the signature. However, notarization does not validate or analyze the content of the document, and is limited to confirming its authorship.
This practice is required in several situations, such as Buy and selling of properties, lease agreements with right of preference in the purchase, international travel authorizations for minors and receipts of buying and selling vehicles. There are two main forms of signature recognition: by similarity and by authenticity.
No recognition by similarity, the notary compares the signature on the document with the one ed on the interested party's file at the registry office. Since there is no need for the person to be present, the analysis is done solely based on handwriting.
In the case of recognition for authenticity, the person must appear at the notary's office and sign the document in the presence of the notary, ensuring that the signature is made in their own handwriting at the time of the request.

For the process of notarization of a signature to take place, the person must have a signature form ed with the notary's office. If they do not yet have this registration, it will be necessary to present it with identification documents, such as ID, F and, if applicable, marriage or divorce certificate.
On the day of the recognition, the interested party must appear in person at the notary's office, bringing the document to be signed and an original and valid identification document. The notary or clerk verifies the identity of the signatory and then signs the document in the presence of the professional, ensuring that the act was carried out in his or her own handwriting. The notary's office then records the procedure, and may file copies of the documents presented and note relevant details.
This method is considered more secure than recognition by similarity, as it prevents forgery and ensures the authenticity of the signature. For this reason, it is often required in transactions with significant legal impact.
