Helpful Tips

IDENTIFICATION

All signers must provide satisfactory evidence of identity in accordance with Indiana notary requirements. Identification requirements and permitted exceptions may vary depending on the circumstances.

 

Notary Wording on your documents

If notarial wording is not included on your document, you will need to determine which notarial act or certificate is required.

The notary may explain the general purpose of available notarial acts but cannot choose or recommend one for you.

If you are unsure which notarial act or certificate is required, contact the document issuer, recipient, attorney, or other appropriate professional.

Below are general explanations of common notarial acts for educational purposes.

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

General Purpose: An acknowledgment is used when a signer acknowledges that the signature on a document is theirs and was made voluntarily.

What This Means for You:

  • • You will appear before the notary and provide satisfactory identification
    • You will acknowledge that the signature on the document is yours
    • No oath or affirmation is administered

 
 

JURAT (Oath or Affirmation)

General Purpose: A jurat involves the signer making an oath or affirmation regarding the truthfulness of the document and signing in the presence of the notary.

What This Means for You:

  • • You will sign the document in the presence of the notary
    • You will take an oath or affirmation regarding the truthfulness of the document
    • The notary will witness the signing and administer the oath or affirmation

 
 

COPY CERTIFICATION BY DOCUMENT CUSTODIAN

General Purpose: A Copy Certification by Document Custodian involves the document holder making a written statement regarding the accuracy of a copy and having their signature on that statement notarized.

What This Means for You:

  • • You will make or present the copy and complete a written statement regarding its accuracy
    • You will sign that statement in the presence of the notary
    • The notary notarizes your signature on the statement—not the document itself

PLEASE NOTE:

A Copy Certification by Document Custodian is different from a regular Copy Certification. With this process, you sign a written statement regarding the accuracy of the copy, and the notary notarizes your signature on that statement.

With a regular Copy Certification, the notary completes, signs, and seals the copy-certification notarial certificate.

 
 

COPY CERTIFICATION (Where Permitted)

General Purpose: Copy certification is a notarial act in which the notary certifies that a copy is a true and accurate copy of the original, when permitted by law.

What This Means for You:

  • • You must present the original document
    • The notary will compare the copy with the original
    • Availability depends on the document type and applicable law

PLEASE NOTE:

With a regular Copy Certification, the notary completes, signs, and seals the copy-certification notarial certificate. The document holder does not sign the copy-certification certificate.
