An acknowledgement is a type of notarization that confirms that the person signing a document is doing so voluntarily and with full understanding of the document's contents. The notary public acts as an impartial witness, verifying the signer's identity and signing the document to confirm that the acknowledgement has been performed correctly.

A jurat is a type of notarization that confirms that the person signing a document is doing so under oath. The notary public administers an oath or affirmation to the signer, verifying their identity and ensuring that they are signing the document truthfully and without coercion.

Copy certification is a type of notarization that confirms the authenticity of a document copy. The notary public verifies that the copy is a true and accurate representation of the original document and signs and seals the copy to certify its authenticity.

It's important to understand which type of notarization is required for your specific document. In some cases, more than one type of notarization may be required, depending on the nature of the document and the legal requirements in your jurisdiction.

Working with an experienced notary public can help to ensure that your documents are properly notarized and legally binding. By understanding the different types of notarization and their requirements, you can feel confident that your legal documents are in good hands.
