A North Carolina notary acknowledgment form is a legal attachment that confirms the authenticity of signatures on a document. The notary public, by signing, verifies the signer’s identity and their willingness to sign freely. This form includes the signer’s name, along with the notary’s seal, signature, and commission expiry date.
Also, North Carolina offers an e-notary service for digital documents.

Yes, indeed, House Bill 776 has made remote online notarization a permanent feature in North Carolina, and Chapter 10B – Article 2 governs electronic notarizations in the state.
The required elements for an electronic notarization form include:
In North Carolina, notaries can often be found in financial institutions like BB&T, Wells Fargo, or UPS stores. Additionally, an online directory can help locate notaries across the state.
Make sure that all signature fields on the document to be notarized remain unsigned prior to the notarization process.
Anyone signing the document must show valid identification to the notary. The only exception is if the notary personally knows the individual.
The document must be signed in the notary’s presence. For acknowledgment purposes, each signer should affirm that their signature was made willingly and without duress.
For certain notarizations like jurats, the signer may need to swear or affirm that the statements in the document are true.
The notary concludes the process by signing and affixing their seal to the notarial certificate. This step is essential, and signers must be physically present to verify their identity and their voluntary participation in the signing process.
