| There is a certificate for each type of notarial act. Most documents have a preprinted certificate on the form, or a certificate has been prepared by an attorney. It is not the notary’s function to determine what type of notarial act is required with regard to a request, but the notary must know and use the proper certificate for the type of act he or she is requested to perform.(Sec. 6-103). |
| Acknowledgment The taking of an acknowledgment consists of positively identifying the signer of a document. The signer need not sign in the notary’s presence but must personally appear before the notary and state that the signature on the document is his or hers. Acknowledgments may be taken in an individual capacity or in a representative capacity, (as an authorized representative of another) For Example: as officer of a corporation for and on behalf of the corporation or as an attorney in fact for another person). The name of the county where the signer personally appeared before the notary public should be inserted on the certificate. These short form certificates to the right are sufficient to meet the requirements of the law. ****REMINDER*** Notary Publics DO NOT notarize or validate the contents of any documents. Notaries only notarize or validate the signers signature. |

| Verification Upon Oath of Affirmation Sometimes referred to as a “jurat,” verification upon oath or affirmation is a declaration that a statement is true and was made by a person upon oath or affirmation.
