When the names of a husband and wife have been pre-typed on an acknowledgment but only the husband appears before the notary public to have his signature notarized?

In this situation, the notary public can only notarize the signature of the husband, as he is the only party present. The acknowledgment should reflect that only the husband appeared and signed. If the wife also needs to be acknowledged, she must appear before the notary separately to have her signature notarized. It’s important for the notary to ensure that all parties are present for proper acknowledgment.
