Kapag pinanotaryo ang isang dokumento, pinatutunayan ng abogado na:
✔️ Personal na humarap sa kanya ang pumirma
✔️ Siya ang tunay na taong nakapangalan sa dokumento
✔️ Kusang-loob niyang pinirmahan ito

📌 Ayon sa 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice, obligasyon ng notary public na tiyaking ang taong lumalagda ay siya mismo ang nakapangalan sa dokumento (principal/signatory), at
personal na humarap at nagpakilala gamit ang valid ID

❗ 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐩𝐮𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐨?
Kung hindi ikaw ang party sa dokumento, hindi mapapatunayan ng abogado ang iyong identidad bilang tamang signatory. Hindi rin niya matitiyak kung ang lumagda sa dokumento ay tunay na nakakaunawa sa nilalaman nito, kung ito ba ay ginawa nang may kusang-loob at walang pamimilit, at kung ito ba ay totoo. Dahil dito, posibleng magamit ang dokumento sa panlilinlang o pandaraya at malalagay sa alanganin ang bisa nito.

Ang notaryo ay hindi simpleng pirma at selyo. Ito ay isang legal na proseso na may kaakibat na pananagutan.
