A Michigan notary acknowledgment form is a document that a notary public uses to verify an individual’s signature on a legal instrument. This procedure is sometimes required in order to verify that a document is being signed freely and authentically, often in regards to transactions of property. When the signer goes to have their document notarized, they will have to provide the notary public with a suitable ID so that they can be identified. Once the signer has been identified and the document has been verified, the notary public will notarize the document by filling out the notary acknowledgment form and providing their signature and seal.
