A Vermont notary acknowledgment form is a document that proves a notary public has authenticated an individual’s signature. Documents such as mortgages and living trusts may require acknowledgment in order to confirm that the signatories who have provided their signatures have been identified and that they are in fact the individuals specified within the instrument.

The initial documents which require notarization may be signed prior to acknowledgment if necessary. However, it is recommended that the signature fields be left empty so that the notary public may witness the signing. It will be the job of the notary to ensure that the documents are being signed willfully and by the proper individual(s). If the notary public is satisfied with the transaction, they will execute the acknowledgment form to authenticate the signature(s).

Laws – Title 26 (Professions and Occupations), Chapter 103 (Notaries Public)
