New Jersey Commissioned Notary Public

All Notary Public's must be at least 18 years of age and may not have been convicted of a crime.

A Notary Public is a public officer who is empowered to:

• Administer oaths/affirmations;
• Take acknowledgments
• Execute jurats;
• Take proofs of deeds; and
• Execute protests for non-payment and non-acceptance.

A Notary Public who is duly commissioned and qualified is authorized to perform these services throughout the State of New Jersey. A Notary's duty is to screen the signers of important documents for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the contents of the document or transaction. Some notarizations also require the Notary to put the signer under an oath, declaring under penalty of perjury that the information contained in a document is true and correct. Property deeds, wills and powers of attorney are examples of documents that commonly require a Notary.

The public trusts that the Notary's screening tasks have not been corrupted by self-interest.  Impartiality dictates that a Notary Public never refuse to serve a person due to race, nationality, religion, politics, sexual orientation or status as a non-customer.  

A Notary Public who is not a licensed attorney-at-law may not imply that he or she is an attorney or represent himself/herself as an attorney.

A wedding officiant plays a crucial role in bringing a couple's dream wedding to life. As the leader of the ceremony, the officiant collaborates closely with the couple to create meaningful content and perform the marriage on their special day. They offer the flexibility to accommodate both secular and spiritual ceremonies, ensuring that every aspect reflects the couple's unique love story.  By personalizing the ceremony—whether it is non-denominational, religious, or a blend of both—the officiant transforms the event into a heartfelt experience that resonates with friends and family. They also guide the couple through the ceremony rehearsal and ensure that all necessary details are in order, such as having the marriage license ready before the big moment.   Once the ceremony is complete, the officiant responsibly signs and submits the marriage license to the appropriate county office, ensuring that every legal requirement is fulfilled. With a skilled officiant, your wedding day will truly embody your vision and values.
