Need help with an official signature? Our mobile acknowledgements notary public services ensure your documents are signed and notarized with full legal compliance. At SLO Notary, we specialize in fast, accurate acknowledgements throughout the Central Coast—wherever and whenever you need us.
What Is an Acknowledgement in Notary Services?
An acknowledgement is a type of notarial act where the signer confirms that they voluntarily signed a document. Unlike a jurat (which involves swearing an oath), acknowledgements are about identity and intent, not truthfulness. This makes them ideal for legal and financial documents where proving the signer’s identity is essential.
Our role as your trusted acknowledgements notary public is to:
- Verify the signer’s identity through valid ID
- Confirm the signer understands what they’re signing
- Ensure the signature was made willingly and without coercion
Common Documents That Require Acknowledgements
We regularly notarize a wide range of documents that involve acknowledgements, including:
- Deeds (Grant, Quitclaim, Trust)
- Power of Attorney Forms
- Real Estate Transactions
- Estate Planning Documents
- DMV Title Transfers
- Business Agreements
- Living Trusts
You can learn more about grant, quit-claim, and trust deeds, as well as power of attorney notarization through our detailed service pages.
Acknowledgement vs. Jurat: What’s the Difference?
Many people confuse acknowledgements with jurats, but they serve different purposes. Here’s a simple comparison:
| Feature | Acknowledgement | Jurat |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Confirms identity and voluntary signature | Confirms truthfulness of the document’s contents |
| Requires Oath or Affirmation | No | Yes |
| Common Use Cases | Real estate, power of attorney, legal filings | Affidavits, sworn statements, declarations |
| Signer Must Appear in Person | Yes | Yes |
