- AThat the contents of the document are true
- BThat the identified individual appeared, was identified, and acknowledged signing the documentCorrect
- CThat the document is legally enforceable
- DThat the document was filed with a court
Why: An acknowledgment certifies that the signer personally appeared, was identified, and acknowledged executing the document. It says nothing about whether the contents are true or the document is enforceable, which the notary is not authorized to judge.Utah Code 46-1 (Notaries Public Reform Act); Utah Notary Handbook
