There are three types of services offered by British National Services:

• Acknowledgement of Execution - An Acknowledgement of Execution is used for legal agreements, business documents, etc. It is also used when more than two signatures are required on the document but all of the parties who must sign are not present.
• Authentication of Signature - We can notarize (or acknowledge) only the signatures of those who are present to sign in front of us or appear in front of us and verify that they have signed the document.
• Administration of Oath - An Administration of Oath is used on documents that require a sworn affidavit. This format cannot be used unless all persons who are to sign the document are present.
