The purpose of an acknowledgment is for a signer, whose identity has been verified, to declare to a Notary or notarial officer that he or she willingly signed the document.
​
This acknowledgment wording is mandatory for all acknowledgments taken in the state.
Jurats are the second most commonly used notarial act.
This act requires a notary to administer an oath or affirmation from the signer. This oath or affirmation determines the signer agrees the document is true under penalty of perjury. Therefore, with the signer signing and completing the swearing of the document, it allows a notary to complete their notarial act.
