Signing a Pennsylvania Notary Acknowledgment Form legitimizes all signatures presented on a legal document and this confirmation is done by a notary public. In some states, this will be a compulsory requirement for some documents. More often than not, these requirements are reserved for documents relating to wills and real estate but this could vary across the different states.
To confirm the authenticity of the signatures, the notary public should first validate the ID of each individual and they must also be sure that all signatures obtained were signed without any pressure. It is worth noting that the signatures do not need to be signed before a notary public, but this is still suggested as it could avoid future issues.
Once all of these processes have been completed, a notary public will sign the Pennsylvania Notary Acknowledgment by entering their details, signature and seal. If signing requirements are not carefully considered, the signed document will not be a legally binding document.
