Is a CPA a notary public?

CPA is the acronym for Certified Public Accountant. Being a CPA doesn't automatically mean Notary Public as well. The individual however, may have, on their own, also applied for and received a commission from the state where they live to become a notary public. If you have questions as to whether an individual is a bona fide and legitimate notary, check with your Secretary of State office, which is usually the state office that coordinates notaries. The SOS office should also be able to answer other general questions you have regarding notaries.
