Acknowledgement and jurat certificates are the two most common notarial
acts, yet there is confusion about the difference between these forms for many
signers. Some notaries even find it difficult to remember which procedures
apply to which certificate.
Jurats
A jurat is used when the signer is swearing to the content of the
document. The notary must administer an oath or affirmation to the signer in
order to complete the jurat. A jurat also requires that the signer signs in the
presence of the notary. It is possible to glean this information from the jurat
certificate its self. The wording states “Subscribed and sworn to before
me…” – subscribed meaning “signed” and sworn meaning that an oral oath or
affirmation was given. “Before me” means that both were done in the
presence of the notary public.
Acknowledgements
An acknowledgement is used to verify the identity of the signer and to
confirm that they signed the document. They are not swearing to the
truthfulness or validity of the document, they are simply acknowledging that
they signed the document. For an acknowledgement in the state of California,
a signer is not required to sign the document in the presence of the notary
public, but they are required to personally appear in front of the notary to
confirm their signature.
While it is important for a notary to understand the difference between the
two, California notaries public are not allowed to determine which type of
certificate a signer uses. To do so would be considered practicing law without
a license. A Notary can only ask the signer which form they prefer; if they
don't know, the notary will refer them to the originator of the document for an
answer.
