Acknowledgments
An acknowledgment confirms that the signer personally appeared before the notary, was properly identified and declared that the signature was made willingly for the purposes stated in the document.
What this service involves
An acknowledgment focuses on the signature, not on the contents of the document. The signer appears in person, is identified, and acknowledges the signature as their own and made willingly. Depending on the document, the signature may have been made before the appointment.

What to bring

Important note
The notarial certificate wording is determined by the document and by applicable law, not by preference.
Not every document can be notarized. The document type, identification, the signer's presence, willingness and awareness, and applicable New Jersey requirements must be reviewed first.
A notarial act does not prove that the contents of a document are truthful, accurate or legally valid.
