An acknowledgment is the customer's declaration, with you as a witness, that the customer signed a document, meant to sign the document, and knew why he or she was signing the document. A witnessed or attested signature is you - the notary's - statement that a customer signed a document in your presence.

Attestation is a kind of testimony or confirmation. It is customary to sign a deed, make a will or sign other written documents in the presence of a witness who also signs the document to attest to its contents and the authenticity of the party's signature.

Attestation is the act of witnessing the signing of a formal document and then also signing it to verify that it was properly signed by those bound by its contents. Attestation is a legal acknowledgment of the authenticity of a document and a verification that proper processes were followed.
