🔎 Hotline Question: What’s the difference between an acknowledgment and a jurat? 📑 An acknowledgment verifies the signer’s identity and that they willingly signed the document, even if it was signed before meeting the Notary. ✍️ A jurat, on the other hand, requires the signer to swear (or affirm) that the document’s contents are true, and they must sign in the Notary’s presence. Both are important Notarial Acts we provide to serve the public! #NotaryTips #NotaryPublic #HotlineAnswer | National
