An Oklahoma notary acknowledgment form is a declaration that a signature is authentic. This method of authentication is often required when dealing with items of great value such as a mortgage, living trust, deed, or vehicle title. Before a document may be notarized, the notary public must verify the individual’s identification to confirm their identity unless the individual is personally known to the notary. Once the document has been signed, the notary may complete the acknowledgment form and return the authenticated document back to the individual.
