   In actuality, the document is not notarized - the person's signature is what is notarized. Having the signature notarized means the person signing the document is identified by their ID and the Notary watches them sign the paperwork. They then sign the Notary's journal (in states where a journal is required) and they also provide a thumbprint. This cuts down on fraud and forgery. Also, a person cannot lie and claim that they DIDN'T sign paperwork - the Notary has their ID info, signature and thumbprint in their journal as proof that the person DID, in fact, sign the paperwork.
