In many Latin American countries, a notario is a lawyer with special training. In the United States, a notary public is something very different, and the confusion costs people money.
What a notary does
A notary public verifies the identity of the person signing a document and witnesses the signature. In Utah, the signer must appear in person before the notary; a video call does not count.
What a notary can't do
Under Utah's notary rules, a notary may not give legal advice or draft a document they will notarize. That requires a licensed Utah attorney. If someone offers immigration or legal help because they are a "notario," be careful.
What to bring
Bring a current government-issued photo ID and your complete document.
