I am a new Notary in the state of New York. 3 different people signed something and want it notarized. Can I do that? or, do each have to have it own uniform of certificate of acknowledment?

It should be fine as long as there are 3 spaces for signature, and you need to notarize each individuals signature.

I'm not sure what NY laws are specifically, but for most Notary laws, as long as you can verify each signature, then it doesn't matter whether the signatures are on the same document or separate documents. Each signature would be verified separately.
Whether you then issue one stamped seal of authentication, or three separate seals, would be up to the local state laws.

If it'slike California law and you saw them sign it, you can use one acknowledgement for the three and can notarize all three, all you are doing is attesting that you saw them sign it, if you didn't see them sign it, then you would have to use a Jurat and give and oath of affirmation!

If you know of fact that all three of them signed it, you can notarize it. They should each have a copy. Don't do it if you are not absolutely certain of ALL THREE. It can get you in trouble.

If you saw them sign it then you can notarize it in whole. All you are doing is attesting that they actually signed it. Nothing more.
