A New Hampshire notary acknowledgment form is a document used to verify the identity and signature of the signer(s) of certain legal instruments. In order to secure a notary acknowledgment, the signer must bring their completed document to the notary and prove their identity by supplying sufficient personal identification. If the document is signed in advance, the signer’s signature on the document will be compared to the signature on their ID in order to be verified. Once the notary has been satisfied that the signer’s identity and forms are authentic, they will be able to fill out the notary acknowledgment form and provide their notary seal or stamp.
