Free Utah Notary Acknowledgment Form

A Utah notary acknowledgment should make the signing easy to confirm later. To do that, it needs to identify where the acknowledgment happened, who appeared before the notary, and how the notary confirmed the signer’s identity. Make sure the certificate includes:

• The state and county where the acknowledgment takes place (UT Code § 46-1-6.5)
• The date of the acknowledgment
• The signer’s name
• A statement that the signer appeared before the notary
• A statement that the signer was personally known to the notary or proved their identity through satisfactory evidence
• A statement that the signer acknowledged signing the document voluntarily for its stated purpose
• The notary’s official signature and seal

The notary’s signature should match the name on their commission. The certificate can appear in the document or on an attached page. Legal Templates’ Utah notary acknowledgment form helps make sure you include the right details.

Yes. Utah allows remote online notarization. The notary must have an active remote notary certification and be physically located in Utah when completing the notarization (UT Code § 46-1-3.5, 3.6).

The signer and notary must be able to see and hear each other in real time. If the notary doesn’t personally know the signer, the signer must send a clear image of an accepted government-issued ID or passport. They must also complete another identity check, such as answering knowledge-based questions or using biometric verification.

Many Utah legal documents need notarization to confirm the signer’s identity and signature. Others don’t legally require it, but notarization can still make the signing easier to verify later. These documents typically require notarization in Utah:

• Durable power of attorney
• Non-durable power of attorney
• Limited power of attorney
• Real estate power of attorney
• Temporary delegation of parental authority
• Power of attorney revocation
• Warranty deed
• Quitclaim deed
• Living trust

Notarization can also help with documents that don’t legally require it but still benefit from stronger proof of signing:

• Loan agreement
• Promissory note
• Vehicle bill of sale
• Prenuptial agreement
• Postnuptial agreement
