I want to assure the signer that the Lenders Acknowledgment does not get notarized by me because it does not have her signature on it, as it's for the Lender to sign or notarize. Would you kindly confirm? — D.W., New York
You are correct. You would not notarize the Lenders Acknowledgment since the signer of that document is not appearing before you at the time of the notarization.
For more information, please see our article, “How to notarize a document in 5 steps.”
