Disclaimer
Notaries are not allowed to provide legal advice or offer opinions on the legality of a document. It’s always a good idea to consult with an attorney if you have questions about whether a document needs to be notarized or the legal implications of notarizing a particular document.
Jurat
A type of notarial act often performed by a notary public or other authorized official. Its primary purpose is to verify that the signer of a document has made a voluntary oath or affirmation before the notary, typically regarding the truthfulness or accuracy of the contents of the document being signed.
Jurat certificates are commonly used for various legal documents, including affidavits, depositions, and sworn statements, where it is crucial to establish that the signer made a solemn commitment to the truthfulness of the contents. The notary’s role in a jurat is to act as an impartial witness to the affiant’s oath or affirmation and to verify the identity of the signer.
Acknowledgement
A notarial act where its primary purpose is to verify the identity of the signer of a document and confirm that the signer willingly executed the document. Unlike a jurat, which involves an oath or affirmation, an acknowledgment does not require the signer to make a sworn statement about the contents of the document; instead, it focuses on the signer’s identity and intent.
Acknowledgments are commonly used for a wide range of legal documents, including deeds, contracts, real estate transactions, and more. They serve as a form of authentication, confirming that the document was signed by the identified individual of their own free will.
