A Montana notary acknowledgment form is a document which certifies that a legal instrument has been willingly signed and that the signer’s identity and power to sign are genuine. This document should be presented before a notary public once the legal instrument has been completed in its entirety. All individuals who have signed the pre-notarized document must also be present in the notary acknowledgment process. The notary will verify the signer’s identity and ensure each individual involved intended to provide their signature. After the notary furnishes the document with their signature and notary seal or stamp, the legal document is officially notarized.
