Best Answer

In most states, notaries public are officers of the state, but not officers of the Court, because notaries are appointed by a state power (i.e. a governor or secretary of state), as opposed to a court power (i.e. a judge).

The term "Affiant" merely refers to a person who has signed an affidavit. An affiant may be an officer of the court, but signing an affidavit/being an affiant does not make you an officer of the court.
