Under the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA), notaries public are authorized to perform six notarial acts:

AcknowledgmentAn acknowledgment is a notarial act in which an individual personally appears before a notary public and confirms that:They are the person named in the document,The signature on the document is theirs, andThey signed the document willingly.An acknowledgment does not require the document to be signed in the notary’s presence, but the signer must personally appear before the notary to acknowledge the signature.


Administering Oath or AffirmationAn oath or affirmation is a verbal notarial act in which an individual makes a solemn promise that a statement is true.An oath is religious in nature, while an affirmation has the same legal effect without religious reference. No document is required unless the oath or affirmation is part of another notarial act.


Affidavit (Verification on Oath or Affirmation)A verification on oath or affirmation is a notarial act in which an individual:Personally appears before the notary,Swears or affirms that the statements in a written document are true, andSigns the document in connection with that oath or affirmation.This act is commonly used for affidavits and sworn statements.


Witnessing or Attesting a SignatureWitnessing or attesting a signature is a notarial act in which an individual signs a document in the physical presence of the notary public.The notary’s role is to confirm the identity of the signer and that the signature was made by that individual. This act does not involve swearing to the truth of the document’s contents.


Certifying or attesting a copy or depositionCopy certification is a notarial act in which the notary confirms that a copy of a document is a complete and accurate reproduction of the original document presented.Certain documents, such as vital records or publicly recordable documents, may be excluded from copy certification under Pennsylvania law.


Noting a protest of a negotiable instrumentA protest is a formal notarial act involving a negotiable instrument that has been dishonored, such as a check or promissory note.This act is governed by Pennsylvania commercial law and is uncommon in routine notarizations.
