    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”.
