The purpose of an acknowledgement is for an affiant, whose identity has been verified, to declare to a notary public that he or she has willingly signed an affidavit.

This means that, when notarizing documents, the notary public must include a statement indicating the type of notarial act performed, showing when, where and before whom the notarial act was completed. It is never acceptable to place only one's signature and seal on a document, without any notarial language.

In the certificate of acknowledgment, the notary public certifies: • That the signer personally appeared before the notary public on the date indicated in the county indicated; • To the identity of the signer; and • That the signer acknowledged executing the document.

Notary Stamp: Notary seal stamps are inked rubber stamps that imprint state-required information — usually the Notary Public's name, state of commission and date of commission expiration. Notary stamps are usually rectangular, but some states require a round stamp.

A notary acknowledgement ensures that the signer of the document is indeed the person named in the document. The function of the notary in this case is to verify the identity of the signer. On the other hand, a notary is asked to perform a Jurat, when the signer takes an oath or makes an affirmation.

On this day of , (year), I certify, pursuant to Tex. Gov't Code §406.014(c), that the preceding or attached document is a true, exact, complete, and unaltered copy made by me of (description of notarial record), the original of which is held in my custody as a notarial record.

In general, an acknowledgment certificate will contain the words, “acknowledged before me” or similar wording. Jurat certificates will contain the words, “subscribed and sworn to (or affirmed) before me.”

While both oaths and affirmations are notarial acts that compel a person to tell the truth, an oath is a solemn, spoken pledge to God or a Supreme Being, while an affirmation is a spoken pledge made on the signer's personal honor with no reference to a higher power.

Document: Principal signer swears-to or affirms the truthfulness of the document contents. Notary's verbal ceremony: OATH: “Do you, John Doe, solemnly swear under penalties of perjury that the information contained in this document is true, so help you God?”
