Maine individual notary acknowledgement forms are notarial certificates used to notarize a document, requiring each signing party to make a declaration stating they were not coerced into signing the document. This particular certificate is the most commonly used acknowledgement form, as it pertains to an individual signing in their own right. An individual notary acknowledgement form is applicable to deeds, agreements, contracts, and other similar documents. The signing party is responsible for finding a notary public and presenting them with the document to be notarized (with the acknowledgement form attached thereto or included therein) and proper identification. The notary will hear the signatory’s acknowledgement and complete the form to officially notarize the document.
