Who makes the acknowledgement on an Acknowledgment of a Record?

Explanation:
The signer. In an acknowledgment, the person who signed the document publicly states that they executed it and did so willingly. The notary’s role is to verify the signer’s identity, ensure they understand what they’re signing, and then attach the certificate that the signer appeared before the notary and acknowledged the signature. The notary does not make the acknowledgment themselves, and clerks or witnesses do not perform this act.
