Does a notary have to notarize the documents in front of you for them to be legal?

Does a notary have to notarize the documents in front of you for them to be legal?
It depends on what they are notarizing for, if your signature? Then you better be there to sign the documents and prove you are who you say you are. They don't have to stamp and seal "in front" of you, but they had to see you sign and proof of ID. But if they are notarizing for something else, then it might not need to be done in front of you, or even with you there. It could be done a different day and sent to you in the mail for some type of judgment or other decree and been stamped and sealed for a legal testament.
