I just picked up my first of those this morning ('cause it's only 1 mile away), so I know what you're talking about (finally). I looked at their instruction page and said (Whaa....!%&#!!!)
Basically (for those of you who haven't seen this), they have a line that they want signed by the notary, although you can't tell. There is no notary verbiage and nothing that says "notary", just an extra signature line that says
"By ____________"
"Date___________" Then below, someone wrote in "Notary Stamp"
The top of the page says "Example for completion of notary acknowledgment page". I would have ignored this otherwise, except for having the borrower(s) sign it. Personally, I think it may be intended as a signature line for the lender 'cause there's a line above it with MERS (spelled out) typed underneath. What I plan to do is just add a CA all-purpose acknowledgment and leave that line alone.
To me, it would have made a whole lot more sense if they'd just said to notarize this document with an acknowledgment. Simple, end of story. Oh well... we can dream, can't we?
