Before you do this, you need to understand something: The only function of a Notary is to verify that the person who signed the document was indeed the same person..i.e. confirm identity and watch them sign the document. It effectively eliminates (usually) any claim of "I didn't sign that". Having a document notarized does NOT give it any more legal authority than not.
For instance, I can sign a contract with a bank for a loan, and my signature probably will not be notarized. Its an equally binding contract. The elements which make a contract legally binding have nothing to do with a Notary's seal, and everything to do with whether the elements of a contract are met.
If you don't trust the person enough that they will somehow try to wiggle out of their later signature, then I wouldn't enter into the sublease. On the other hand, if you want a binding contract, you may want to consult an attorney to make sure.
NOTE: Read your lease on the apartment carefully. Many apartment leases do not allow subletting without the specific approval of the lessor.
For more information, contact an attorney licensed in your state. For a referral, contact your local or state bar association.

Huge big suggestion make sure you know how you are wording that contract to protect yourselves against future lawsuits. I would suggest at minimum have an Atty (around 50-100 dollars) look over what you draw up for legalities and to make sure you have protected yourself. I would never be entering into a contract that the Atty didn't draw up in matters of several thousand dollars. OOps just saw the land part, this is a realestate sell and you need to have a real estate sales contract drawn up. Just see the atty

Yes the notary has to be present as an official witness to tthe signatures and they will put a seal on it only when they witness both parties sign a document in their present. And what this does is when one party will try to get off and not pay sometihing because that's not his signature well if it is notirized it is saying it was his signature. In other words when you notorize a document it is official.

All parties involved in the contract being signed must be present and sign in front of the notary.

Notary witnesses a signature and verified the persons signing are legally who they say they are

The document does need to be signed by a notary. You can usually find notaries at your bank. They will have everything you need.
