    New business idea: novelty “notary” stamps for sovereign citizens. Make sure they say “definitely not a real notary” on them so you don’t get sued by the state. Sovereign citizens who hate the state will love it.

      A notary just checks your id. That’s what they’re confirming… That they checked who u say u are.

        They also are background checked by the state that issues their stamp. And they keep a log book of all their notarizations. And they testify in court that you did sign a document.

        If it was just “checking your ID” anyone could do it. That’s just called a “witness”.
