Acting as an official acknowledgment, a Rhode Island Notary Acknowledgment Form supports the fact that a legal document was signed legally and correctly, by the correct people. It also establishes that the entire process was done voluntarily and that no individual was forced to sign the document against their own will. Such requirements will usually concern important documents.
In most cases, a notary public is the party that has the legal right to make such acknowledgments. They should be certain about the genuineness and free will of the people signing the document and before signing the form, the notary needs to validate the identity of all people involved in signing the legal document. For the notary public to sign a Rhode Island Notary Acknowledgment, the involved parties do not have to sign before the notary, but it would still be a good idea to do so as it rules out any future conflicts.
