Question 26
Domain 3: Performing NotarialA signer appears before a notary to complete a notarial act on a document. Which act requires the notary to administer an oath or affirmation to the signer as part of the notarization?
Explanation
A jurat requires the notary to administer an oath or affirmation to the signer. The source material specifically lists 'Execution of Jurat' and 'Administration of Oath or Affirmation' together, while acknowledgments are treated separately under 'Acknowledgment' and 'Certificate of Acknowledgment.' This distinction is the key difference between the two acts in the source material. — notary-handbook-current.pdf
Memory Aid
Jurat = 'Jure' sounds like 'swear' — jurat requires a sworn oath or affirmation.
