Yes. I am a notary and I would recommend that you notarize anything action or document that is binding and subject to legally actions. This notarized authenticates and action and makes it binding.

It does not need to be notarized to be legally effective, but it wouldn't hurt. Also, more importantly, the loan needs to be secured by a mortgage or security interest in real or personal property worth twice the amount of the loan. You would be well advised to have an OK lawyer attend to the details of this loan. Loans between friends are notoriously risky.
