A Tennessee notary acknowledgment form is a certificate that a notarial officer may use to attest that someone’s signature is authentic and has been provided willfully. This type of authentication is often required when filing documents of considerable importance (e.g. living trust, mortgage, deed). In order to be certain that a signature has not been forged or signed involuntarily, the notary public will ensure that the signing party has been identified as the person described within the instrument. A notary public may authenticate (acknowledge) both signatures which have been provided within their presence as well as those that have been previously signed.

3. Show ID

The notary public will need to ascertain satisfactory evidence of your identity in order to be sure that you are the individual who should be signing the presented documents. If the notary public does not know you personally, you may identify yourself with a government-issued ID or another form of identification mentioned within § 66-22-106.

4. Sign

After a full review of your documents and personal identification, the notary public will request that you sign your documents in front of them, or if your signature was provided prior to acknowledgment, the notary public will ask that you attest to the signature as being your own.

5. Acknowledgment Form

The notary public will complete the process by filling in the notary acknowledgment form with the location and date of an acknowledgment as well as the name(s) of those involved in the transaction. Once filled in, the notary public will sign the acknowledgment form and supply their seal. Your paperwork will be returned to you after the process has been completed.
