For a notarial act to be valid, the notary must perform the verbal part of the acknowledgment notarial act by asking the signer: “Do you acknowledge that you signed this document voluntarily and for the purposes stated therein?”
In fact, the signer has the sole right to make changes to the document. Remember, if the notarization period is complete, then the public notary cannot modify a notarial certificate. In order to make changes, however, the signer has to appear in person in the presence of a notary public to initiate new notarization.
To make a notarized letter, begin with your contact details, create a clear message explaining the purpose of the letter. Include any legal language if necessary. Conclude with a formal closing and leave space for your signature. And that's how you write a statement that needs to be notarized.
