Notary Public and Authentications

The certificate of acknowledgment must be in the form set forth in California Civil Code section 1189. Are you preparing a document and looking to add a California Acknowledgment? Please copy exactly as it appears do not change anything, do not remove or simplify the (He, She, They) on the notary acknowledgment. Depending on who is accepting the document they may reject it based on these small changes. When adding a notary acknowledgment it is best to use a notary acknowledgment that is referenced in Secretary of  State notary handbook to avoid having an attached notary certificate or rejection.  Attached is a California Notary acknowledgment that you may use on your documents.  Referenced from http://notary.cdn.sos.ca.gov/forms/notary-ack.pdf
