There are two types of documents commonly referred to as "notarized", but which are completely different from one another. The first is a sworn statement, like an affidavit. The person signing is under oath that it is true under penalty of perjury. The notary countersigns with the satement "Sworn to and subscribed before me this __ day of ___. The other is an acknowledged document, like a deed or mortgage. Here the notary countersigns with a "acknowledgement". The exact form is usually spelled out in state statutes; however essentially it says that the person who signed it identified himself/herself to the notary and signed it in the notary's presence. It is not made under oath and is basically just a means of proving that the document was in fact signed by the person signing it.
