Two Common Certificates Used For Notarizing

There are two common Notary Certificates used for performing a notarization. As a Notary, we cannot tell you what type of Certificate you need. If the document needing Notarized doesn’t have the Jurat or the Acknowledgement on document, you should ask the party who is requiring the Notarization. As with all notarizations, a Valid form of ID is required. If you don’t have a valid Identification, you may prove your identity through the oath or affirmation of a credible witness known to the notary or two (2) credible witnesses not known to the notary. All witnesses must have Valid Identification.

 

Jurat

The person needing the document notarized is required to be in front of the Notary Public, it also necessitates the person signing the document take an oath and affirmation, under penalty or perjury, stating that the contents and statements in the document are truthful. Once an oath or affirmation is administered, the signer then signs and dates the document. After which, the Notary Public will sign and stamp. You will then be asked to sign in the Notary Public’s record book. It is always best not to sign documents that need to be notarized until you are in front of the Notary. If you do, you will need to cross out the signature and resign the document.

 

Acknowledgement

The acknowledgement confirms that the signer was in front of the Notary Public and the Notary Public has confirmed the identity of the person who is signing the legal document. If you are seeking an acknowledgement, you must appear before the Notary Public and present a Valid Identification. If no personal identification documents are available, you may prove your identity through the oath or affirmation of a credible witness known to you and the Notary Public or two (2) credible witnesses not known to the notary but knows you.

After each notarization, the notary will fill out their record book and ask you to sign where she has filled out your recorded transaction. Depending on the document, you may also need to give your thumb print.

Again, if you are not sure which Certificate you need. The source that gave you the document to have Notarized would be able to tell you.

 

Signature By Mark

When the signer of an instrument cannot write/sign) his or her name, that person may sign the document by mark. ( Civil Code section 14) The requirements for notarizing a signature by mark ate as follows:

The person signing the document by mark must be identified by the Notary Public by satisfactory evidence ( Civil Code section 1185 )
The signer’s mark must be witnessed by two persons who must subscribe (sign) their own names as witnesses on the document. One witness should write the person’s
name next to the person’s mark and then the witness should sign his or her name a witness. The witnesses are only verifying that they witnessed the individual make his or her mark on the document. A notary public is not required to identify the two persons who witnessed the signing by mar or to have the two witnesses sign the notary public’s journal. Exception: If the witnesses were acting in the capacity of credible witnesses in establishing the identity of the person signing by mark, then the witnesses’ signatures must be entered in the notary publics
