A Tennessee notary acknowledgment certifies that an individual’s signature on a legal document is genuine. The acknowledgment form will state that the signer appeared before the notary and declared that they willingly signed the original document. The notary public will need to enter in the acknowledgment date, county, and the signer’s name before stamping the certificate.
Notaries in Tennessee are appointed to a 4-year term by commission of the state governor (§ 8-16-103).
Is Online Notarization Legal in Tennessee?
Yes. Remote notarization became legal when the amended Senate Bill 1758 became effective on April 22, 2022.
The signatory must appear via two-way audio and video communication before a notary who is located in the state.
Statutes: Chapter 16, Part 3 (Online Notary Public Act), Chapter 1360-07-03 (Online Notaries Public)
