Since my company is small and there is a chance my boss could try and fire me instead of accepting my resignation.

A notarized letter won't do you any good. How do you think it would help.
Besides, if he fires you, you get unemployment.

All notarization is, is that the notary put their seal on the document, and that attests that it was you who signed it, at that date.
If you think that definition will help, that notarizing a resignation letter is the way to go, you can do it. But it may make no difference. It doesn't prove that you gave the letter to your boss.

There should be no need for a notarized resignation letter. Why should you boss fire you if you are resigning? If he fires you, except for misconduct, you would be entitled to unemployment benefits which he will have to pay for.

I'm not sure what point would be served by having it notarized. You could just show it to a friend if you want a witness. If you have another job lined up, then what do you care what your boss does? I don't think you care about unemployment, do you, because quiting is not a good way to get unemployment.

It will make no difference. A notary simply states that you are the person who wrote the letter by notarizing your letter.
Your boss can let you go immediately if you are giving two weeks notice, but you can file for unemployment for the notice time. So write the letter, give it to your boss, and if he says he considers you terminated immediately, file.
Good luck.

Is there a real chance that your boss is going to deny that it's your signature on the letter? Because that's about all the notary is going to attest to.
The notary can't say that anything in the letter is true. He can't even say that you haven't been fired yet, or that you really work for the company. He can only say that YOU said, or wrote, or signed certain things.

No, it won't change your boss from firing you if that is what he wants to do. And, legally, having it notarized doesn't mean anything to a court or unemployment.

I don't know why you'd get it notarized. Notarizing something just verifies that the signature is actually yours, and would have no effect on whether he'd fire you or not.

I would e-mail him your resignation letter and bcc your personal e-mail address so you have a copy of the letter and when you sent it.

You raise some good points in your question.
