A Notary Public Expert Witness may examine the available notarial record to determine what it documents about personal appearance, identity verification, the type of notarial act performed, and the date of the notarization. The significance of those records can vary by jurisdiction and the type of notarial act involved. Notarial evidence should also be distinguished from forensic analysis intended to determine whether a questioned signature was actually authored by a particular individual.
Notarial certificates can document the type and date of a notarial act, while journals or other available records may contain additional information about the signer, identification method, document, or transaction. A Notary Public Expert Witness may compare these materials with the disputed document and surrounding records to establish a chronology and identify inconsistencies between the documented notarization and other accounts of the transaction.
Notary Public expertise focuses on the notarization process, including personal appearance, identity procedures, certificates, records, seals, and the type of notarial act performed. Signature expertise focuses more specifically on questioned signatures, handwriting characteristics, and other evidence relevant to authorship. When the primary issue is whether a particular person actually produced a disputed signature, a signature expert witness may provide more specialized forensic analysis.
A fiduciary dispute may involve a notarized power of attorney, trust-related document, authorization, transfer, or other instrument. A Notary Public Expert Witness may address the notarization process and the records associated with that act. Questions concerning whether a fiduciary fulfilled or breached particular duties generally require separate expertise focused on fiduciary responsibilities and conduct.

A Notary Public Expert Witness may examine the notarial process associated with a trust, estate document, affidavit, authorization, or related instrument.
