How to Complete an Acknowledgment

How To Complete An Acknowledgment
STEP 1: Require Personal Appearance - Signer must personally appear before you at the time of the notarization.

STEP 2: Review The Document - Scan the document to make sure it is complete, has no blank spaces or missing pages, and includes a Notary certificate.

STEP 3: Screen The Signer And Verify The Facts - Screen the signer’s identity according to your state’s requirements, ask them if they are signing willingly and watch to verify that they are aware of what they are doing.

STEP 4: Record The Notarization - Some states require specific information to be recorded; you must know and follow these requirements.

STEP 5: Complete The Notarization - Fill out, sign, and affix your official seal to the Notary certificate.

It is really sad that there is NO official school to learn everything we need to know for the business. Sure, we can sign up for notary courses all day long, but nothing comes close to actually looking, feeling and filling out those papers in persons. No wonder why notaries make mistakes out there, since there is no official schooling for it. Really sad. Thank you for these vides as these are the only thing we can actually go

wow I can't believe I passed the notary public exam and had no clue how to do this. THANKS!

[Breeluvh]

Ooh this was SO needed. I took the course 2times and passed and still nothing beats this in person example.. this is what should be REQUIRED to see.

Thank you Beth. I love this video. You made learning so easy with the visuals. I hope you do more videos for us. Your voice us perfect to hear too!

[brandycostello]

Thank you! I am just starting out and it was great to see what the process looks like.

[brycestrong]

Yes, please keep these clear and concise videos coming! These two were so good together.

This was the best most informative video yet. Thank you for getting right to the point! Wonderful.

Very helpful video. We should have more videos like this. I remember getting my notary certificate years ago but didn't know how to notarize documents, and when I tried I wasn't sure if I filled them out correctly or not.
Thank you for making this video.

Truth! We spend too much to not get any training. Thank you for the videos.

I would also note, especially these days to verify the authenticity of the ID itself. There are some very good fake IDs and passports out there and every notary should know what real ID looks and feels like. Don't just look at the face of the card but also check the reverse as well.

Thank you for sharing this was very helpful due to being a visual learner.

[dimpleseve]

Thank you!! These videos are wonderful and helpful!!!

[Elizabeth.yeliad]

Can you talk about the types of documents you can notarize with only a notary certificate please?

[realestategomez]

How about making a video about Credible Witness and how it works. (One or two witnesses) 👍🏼 in California.

[natmats]

when filling out the optional section, does the number of pages include the acknowledgment or just the documents being notarized? thank you!

[istinamari]

Is there a place a new notary can buy example “completed” notarized forms for practice? There’s not much helpful info out there for new notaries. I love the NNA but it would be nice if they offered something like what I’ve mentioned above. I’d gladly pay for it

[SMBONE]

A personal credible witness has to know both the signer and the notary, not just the signer. It also has to be a legitimate defensible personal knowledge, not acquaintances

Need help understanding the right way to complete a health directive for Texas. Where can I get that info?
