WHAT IS A JURAT?

 

The second form most frequently completed by a notary public is the jurat.  The jurat is identified by the wording “Subscribed and sworn to (or affirmed)” contained in the form.

 

In the jurat, the notary public certifies:

1. That the signer personally appeared before the notary public on the date indicated and in the county indicated.

2. That the signer signed the document in the presence of the notary public.

3. That the notary public administered the oath or affirmation.

There is no prescribed wording for the oath, but an acceptable oath would be “Do you swear or affirm that the statements in this document are true?” When administering the oath, the signer and notary public traditionally each raise their right hand but this is not a legal requirement.

4. To the identity of the signer.
