What is a Notary of Public:  Notaries public are officials of state government who perform certain tasks to facilitate certain types of transactions. Among these is the taking of acknowledgments, which are statements that a person has signed a document as his/her/its free act and deed (not coerced). Part of the process is verifying the identity of the signer.

What is a Medallion Signature Guarantee: The signature guarantee program involves securities and securities accounts. Transfers and securities instructions requiring owners' signatures must have those signatures guaranteed by a bank, credit union or broker. The guarantee is backed up by an insurance policy. The program protects issuers and others from losses as a result of fraudulent securities transfers.
