A Louisiana notary acknowledgement for an individual is a notarial certificate attached to or included in a legal document requiring notarization. An acknowledgement is a declaration made by the signing party(ies) claiming they signed the document without influence or coercion from a third party. A notary public is tasked with taking (hearing) said declaration(s) and reviewing each signer’s identification. The document is officially notarized once the notary has completed each field on the acknowledgement form.
