What is a certificate of acknowledgement?

  1. A certification of the signer's identity

  2. A detailed statement of the signing process

  3. A clause that includes the notary's fee

  4. Wording attached to a document stating the specific details concerning the signature the notary witnessed

The correct answer is: A certification of the signer's identity

A certificate of acknowledgement is a document attached to a signed document that indicates the signer's identity has been verified by a notary public. This differs from option B, as a detailed statement of the signing process would not specifically include the signer's identity. Option C is incorrect because a certificate of acknowledgement is not a clause, but a separate document. Option D is incorrect because it does not accurately describe a certificate of acknowledgement, which is solely meant to verify the identity of the signer.
