Yes, A Power Of Attorney has to be notarized... You can even go to most banks and they will do it for you!

It really depends on what you are using it for. If it is for anything that would be required to be notarized, such as a real property deed, it has to be notarized. Otherwise, it does not. That being said, it is a good idea to get it notarized because that will prevent any questions or problems.
