The Connecticut notary acknowledgement for a signature by mark is completed by a notary public when an individual is incapable of signing their name on an item requiring notarization. The signing party may instead write a mark, generally an “X,” to serve in place of the signature. A notary public and two (2) witnesses must be present at the time the mark is written. After the mark is made, the two (2) witnesses should print their names on both the signed document and the notary public’s journal. The completed acknowledgement certificate indicates that the signer was identified by the notary and executed the document as an act of their own free will.
