What does an acknowledgement certify?

Signer's identity was satisfactorily proven to notary
Document is original
Notary knows the signer personally
Document contains truthful information

The correct answer is: Signer's identity was satisfactorily proven to notary

An acknowledgement certifies that the signer's identity was satisfactorily proven to the notary. This means that the signer provided sufficient proof of their identity, such as a valid government-issued identification, to the notary. This information is important as it helps ensure the validity and authenticity of the document. The other options are incorrect because they do not pertain to the certification of the acknowledgement. Option B is incorrect because an acknowledgement does not certify the originality of the document. Option C is incorrect because it is not necessary for the notary to personally know the signer in order to certify an acknowledgement. Option D is incorrect because an acknowledgement does not certify the truthfulness of the information contained in the document.
