I am a Notary Public, who was appointed by the State of Tennessee. I serve with integrity; I service the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. These official acts are called notarizations, or notarial acts. Notaries are publicly commissioned as "ministerial" officials, meaning that they are expected to follow written rules without the exercise of significant personal discretion, as would otherwise be the case with a "judicial" official. I have the power to administer oaths and take depositions, affidavits, and acknowledgments. My Notary powers and duties can be exercised in all counties in the State of Tennessee.
