Effective January 1, 2008, the identity of the person making the acknowledgment may no longer be established by personal knowledge alone. Civil Code section 1185. The certificate of acknowledgment is now executed under penalty of perjury and must be in the form set forth in Civil Code section 1189.
The new acknowledgment form is available in PDF file format and can be viewed, filled in and printed from your computer.
