I am authorized by the State of Virginia to – 

Take acknowledgments -  Any oath or affidavit required by law, which is not of such nature that it must be made in court

Administering / Certifying affidavits or depositions - to admit, affirm, declare, testify, avow, confess, or own as genuine.

Certifying “true copies” of documents - (excluding documents in governmental custody, e.g., birth certificates, death certificates, etc.)

Verification of fact - The Commonwealth of Virginia is the first state in the country to authorize the verification of fact as a notarial power. "Verification of fact" means a notarial act in which a notary reviews public or vital records to (i) ascertain or confirm facts regarding a person's identity, identifying attributes, or authorization to access a building, database, document, network, or physical site or (ii) validate an identity credential on which satisfactory evidence of identity may be based.

Virginia notaries have limited powers in performing notarial acts outside the Commonwealth of Virginia. Documents notarized by a Virginia notary who is traveling outside of the Commonwealth by Virginia no longer need to be for the narrow purpose of being recorded or filed in Virginia. A traditional notary public may perform any notarial act outside the
Commonwealth for any writing intended to be used in the Commonwealth of Virginia or by the United States government.
