What is Authentication?

Explanation:
Authentication is the clerk’s certification that a notary is acting in official capacity and that the notarial act was performed properly. This certificate confirms the notary’s commission is valid and that the notary’s actions are legitimate, often needed for documents used in another jurisdiction. It’s not the act of applying the notary’s seal, nor the act of notarizing itself, nor a process to verify expiration dates.
