The act of a signer telling the notary that the signer executed the instrument, together with the notary’s act of obtaining satisfactory evidence of identity
Any oath administered by a notary
The county clerk’s later authentication of the notary’s authority
The delivery of a signed affidavit to a notary without appearance
Correct Answer
A. The act of a signer telling the notary that the signer executed the instrument, together with the notary’s act of obtaining satisfactory evidence of identity
AI Explanation
This term combines what the signer says and what the notary does. In the booklet definition of “Taking an Acknowledgment,” the signer acknowledges execution and the notary obtains satisfactory evidence of identity. For contrast, a silent delivery of a signed affidavit is not enough for a valid oath-taking act.
