Generally in the United States, if the signing of a document requires a witness, it should state that it needs to be notarized. To have a document notorized is to have a Notary Public confirm by his/her seal that he/she witnessed the signing of the document and confirmed the signer's identification. (So never sign a document before taking it to be notarized, because the Notary Public has to witness the signing.) (Sorry, I don't know how or if it is done differently outside the US.)
