an impartial witness to the signing of documents, attests to the signature
on the document, and may also administer oaths and affirmations. The State
Treasurer appoints a notary public for a five-year period and may renew
the appointment for five-year increments. Candidates, who must be New
Jersey residents and are at least 18 years of age, are sworn into office
by the clerk of the county in which the candidate resides. Complete information
regarding New Jersey Notary Publics is provided in the notary manual.
