WHAT NOTARIZATION DO YOU NEED?
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Acknowledgments
The purpose of an acknowledgment is to verify that the individual who signed the document is who they claim to be and that they voluntarily signed it. Acknowledgments are frequently required for documents that pertain to valuable assets, including deeds, mortgages, and deeds of trust.
In order to execute an acknowledgment, the signer must physically appear before you during the notarization process to be positively identified and to declare — or "acknowledge" — that the signature on the document is their own and that they signed it voluntarily.
Jurat
The purpose of a jurat is to require a signer to vow or affirm that the contents of a document are accurate. It may also be referred to as an affirmation, a verification on oath, or an affidavit, contingent upon the jurisdiction.
The signer must physically appear before you and sign the document in your presence in order to execute a jurat. The signer must then speak audibly his or her promise that the statements in the document are true, and an oath or affirmation must be administered. The signer is responsible for selecting between an oath and an affirmation.
