Types of Notarizations

Acknowledgements

An acknowledgement is a declaration by an individual that the signer of a document is who they claim to be. The signer must appear in person before the notary. These may include: Beneficiary Designations, Deeds, Title Transfers, Bills of Sale, etc.

Oath or Affirmation

This is a formal declaration, either spoken or written, that a statement or testimony is true under penalty of perjury. Oaths are given to a higher power, whereas an affirmation is a pledge on a person’s honor. The choice is up to the signer. This may include: Jurats, Oath of Office, Depositions & Other Court Documents

Witnessing Or Attesting A Signature

The notary will determine, from personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence, that the signer is who they claim to be and that the signature on record is the signature of the person who appeared before the notary.

Certifying Or Attesting A Copy

The notary can make a copy of or witness the production of a copy from an original document. These include: Public Records, Passports, Driver’s Licenses, Transcripts, Diplomas, Contracts, Leases & Bills of Sale, Medical Records, Consents & Waivers, Powers of Attorney

Pennsylvania Notaries Public are not permitted to certify certain Federal, State or County records because the original copies are held by the Government agency. These include: Birth, Death, & Marriage Certificates, Articles of Incorporation

Noting A Protest Of A Negotiable Interest

This is a statement that a payment has not been received. Typically, this is used by financial institutions, following 13 Pa.C.S. § 3505(b).

Remote Online Notarization

Remote Online Notarization, or RON, eliminates the hassle of traditional notarization through a completely on-line process. After uploading a document, the signer’s identity is verified, then the signer is connected to the notary via a live video call. After the document is notarized, the signer pays a fee to download the digitally signed PDF document. Please view this short video explaining how the process works.
