A Kansas notary acknowledgment form is often attached to a document, legal or otherwise, to prove the authenticity of the signatures in it. Signed and sealed by a notary, this statement also certifies that each signer personally appeared in front of the notary to identify themselves and declare that they signed the document under their own free will. There are many accepted forms of identification that can be presented to the notary; alternatively, the notary public can simply identify an individual through personal recognition. Although it is not necessary, the signers may choose to leave the signature fields blank and sign in front of the notary instead. (This can often help prevent future legal complications.) The Kansas notary acknowledgment form can be filled in by the notary once they have verified all identities and noted each signer’s declaration.

1. Locate Notary

Locate a notary public to start the notarization process. This can be accomplished by using one of the following options:

2. Prepare Document

Present the document to the notary public. Unless the document needs an acknowledgment, all signature fields should be left blank.

3. Present ID

Each signing party must present identification to the notary. If the notary public recognizes one of the signers personally, it is considered sufficient verification.

4. Sign

Signatures can be inscribed on the document in front of the notary. For acknowledgments, the document can be presented with signatures included. In this case, each signer must declare that they signed absent coercion.

5. Take Oath

Some notarial acts, specifically jurats, require that signers take an oath or affirmation certifying the truthfulness of the documents’ contents.

6. Get Stamp

The document is notarized once the notary signs and stamps the notarial certificate.
