A Maryland notary acknowledgment form is a document that authenticates a signature on a legal document. Before signing their document, the subject will bring their document and the acknowledgment form to a notary public. Upon presenting themselves to the notary, they will identify themselves, declare their intent to sign the document, and sign the document with the notary as a witness. The notary will then notarize the document by supplying their signature and seal attesting to the signer’s willful intent to sign the document into action.
