An Iowa notary acknowledgment form is a legal instrument stating that a notary has confirmed the identity of document’s signer. The form is completed by the notary to record the date, involved parties, and location of the signing. Notarial acts are used to prevent fraud and verify that those executing documents are doing so by their own free will.
Notary publics are appointed for four-year terms (§ 9B.21(6)).
