The Indiana notary acknowledgement for an individual is a formal attestation to the authenticity of an individual’s signature and to the fact that the signed instrument was executed as an act of free will. Both the acknowledgement certificate and the item which already contains, or will contain, the individual’s signature must be personally delivered to a notary public by the signer (a notary can notarize the document regardless of whether the signature is inscribed under their supervision). The notary will then confirm the identity of the signer to ensure the document is not being forged. After the identity has been verified, the notary may proceed by administering the verbal acknowledgement statement, filling out the acknowledgement form, and returning both items to the individual.
