An Arizona notary acknowledgment form is used by a public official to certify an individual’s signature on a document. There are a number of documents that may require notary acknowledgment, mostly legal agreements, estate administrations, and property transactions. The individual(s) presenting the document must declare that they have included their signature(s) under their own free will, at which point the notary will verify the identities of all parties involved. It is not necessary for signatures to be completed in front of the notary; however, signing in front of a notary could avoid future complications or delays. Upon verification of all identities and signatures, the notary will sign, date, and include their stamp/seal on the acknowledgment form.
