Signatures. Generally, promissory notes do not need to be notarized. Typically, legally enforceable promissory notes must be signed by individuals and contain unconditional promises to pay specific amounts of money. Generally, they also state due dates for payment and an agreed-upon interest rate.
The lender holds the promissory note while the loan is being repaid, then the note is marked as paid and returned to the borrower when the loan is satisfied. Promissory notes aren't the same as mortgages, but the two often go hand in hand when someone is buying a home.
In order for a promissory note to be valid, both the lender and the borrower must sign the documentation. If you are a co-signer for the loan, you are required to sign the promissory note. Being a co-signer requires you to repay the loan amount in the instance that the borrower defaults on payment.
