Within your likely ‘yet to be signed’ document, count the number of signatures showing a Notary’s Certificate immediately following the signature lines. Then count the number of signers required to place their signatures within the same document. This combined number of Certificates and Signers is the total amount for your service order.

If this is a Jurat, or Affidavit, complete any possible blank spaces, but DO NOT sign the document until in the presence of the notary, after ID verification has occurred.

If this is an Acknowledgement, your document to be notarized may have already been previously signed before being in the presence of the notary. The acknowledgement itself will not yet be signed until in the presence of the notary, and after ID verification has occurred. You will be attesting to the fact that you yourself previously signed the document, were aware of what you were signing, and understand its contents.
