Completing a Notary Certificate

Good Notary Public Education goes beyond your basic Notary Public class.

When completing a Notary Acknowledgement or Jurat certificate, ensure that the following steps are taken to ensure that you are following the laws and the perfect notarization occurs:

•Venue - Fill in the State and the County where the notarization took place.
•Name of person(s) whose signatures you are notarizing - Make sure you spell the names correctly in your notarial certificate.
•Pronouns - Make sure you strike out the inapplicable wording (i.e. he/she/they or his/hers/theirs, is/are, person(s)).
•Choices - Strike out the choice that does not apply in the sworn or affirmed statement on a Jurat.
•Notary Seal - Make sure your seal is clear, doesn't overlap any verbiage and is next to your notary signature.
•Notary Signature - Don't forget to sign the certificate.
