What is a notarial instrument?
In notary terms, an "instrument" is merely another word for a document.
Can a notary back date an acknowledgement if the person who needs the notary also back dates?
A notary does not sign to acknowledge a document. A notary is a witness of the person who signed the document. He signs to say that the person who's signature appears on the document is, in fact, the person who signed it. (This is why a notary will ask to see your drivers license or other photo ID - to prove that you are who you say you are.) A notary would back date a document because the person signing the document already signed and dated it before it was handed to the notary. In this case, the notary would not have seen the person sign the document, so it is illegal for the notary to both sign and back date.
In executing a notarial act containing a jurat the Notary must do what?

What is notarial?
A notary public is an officer appointed by a state authority, such as a governor or secretary of state, whose function is to take acknowledgments of execution of documents, administer oaths, and perform other commissioned duties authorized by law.

Where to place notary seal on documents?
In the U.S., the notary's stamp or seal is affixed next to their signature or immediately underneath their signature, in the appropriate notarial certificate. Notaries can not simply "sign and stamp" without appropriate notary wording already provided on the document.
Can a document with a date in the pass be notorized?
It depends. There are two types of notarial acts - an acknowledgment and an oath. When a notary takes an acknowledgment, the signer of the document appears before the notary and declares that he/she signed the document voluntarily. It does not matter how long ago the person signed it, and it does not need to be signed in the notary's presence. However, the date on the notary's certificate must be the date that the person actually appeared before the notary and the notary signed his name and affixed his seal. When a notary administers an oath on a paper document such as an affidavit, the person must sign in the notary's presence. Therefore, the document must be dated the date that the person appeared before the notary, took the oath and signed the document. A notary can never back-date or post-date a notarial certificate. The day that the signer appears in person before the notary, and the notary affixes his/her seal or stamp, is the date that should go in the notary's certificate. If the document is being acknowledged rather than sworn to, the date the document was executed/signed by the original signer is irrelevant.

How do you have something authenticated?
I am not exactly sure on what your question means, however, perhaps you mean to ask `how do you prove the authenticity of a document?' This can be done in my jurisdiction by having a notary public "notarize" the document. Most lawyers are notaries public, which allows them to notarize a document (certifying that it is a true, and authentic copy of the orgiinal). This is done by preparing a certificate, called a notarial certificate, in which the notary will certify that the copy of the document is a true copy of the original. The notarial certificate will be accompanied sealed with the notary public's raised seal. Some notaries public will charge a fee for this service.
What should a notarial certificate have?
A notarial certificate should include details such as the date, location, type of notarial act performed, identification of the signer, notarial seal or stamp, and the notary's signature. It should also clearly state the notary's commission expiration date and any other relevant information required by state laws.
Can a document that has no place for a notary to sign be signed?
Yes, a document can be signed even if it has no designated space for a notary to sign. However, for the document to be considered notarized, the notary must still witness the signing and provide their signature and seal on a separate notarial certificate or acknowledgment. It's important to ensure that all legal requirements for notarization are met, depending on the jurisdiction.
What is purpose of acknowledgement before a notary public in signing a deed?
To ensure that the person who is signing their name to the document ACTUALLY IS that person.
