PART 92_NOTARIAL AND RELATED SERVICES--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  92.33  Execution of certificate of acknowledgment.



    (a) When certificate should be executed. A notarizing officer should 

execute a certificate of acknowledgment immediately after the parties to 

the instrument have made their acknowledgment. Allowing several days or 

weeks to elapse between the time the acknowledgment is made and the 

certificate executed is undesirable, even though the officer may 

remember the acknowledgment act.

    (b) Venue. The venue must be shown as prescribed in Sec.  92.14.

    (c) Date. The date in the certificate must be the date the 

acknowledgment was made. This is not necessarily the same as the date 

the instrument was executed. In fact, there is no reason why an 

instrument may not be acknowledged a year or more after the date of its 

execution, or at different times and places by various grantors.

    (d) Names of parties. The name or names of the person or persons 

making the acknowledgment should appear in the certificate in the same 

form as they are set out in the acknowledged document, and in the same 

form as their signature on the instrument.

    (e) Additional statements. When executing a certificate of 

acknowledgment on Form FS-88, the notarizing officer may include any 

necessary additional statements in the blank space below the body of the 

certificate.

    (f) Signing and sealing certificate. The certificate of 

acknowledgment shall be signed and sealed as prescribed in Sec. Sec.  

92.15 and 92.16.
