ACKNOWLEDGMENT DEFINED:
The purpose of an Acknowledgment is for a signer, whose identity has been verified, to declare to a Notary or notarial officer that they have willingly signed a document. The signer must appear in person before the Notary. You must be positively identified. The signer must declare (acknowledge) signing the document for its intended purpose.
JURAT DEFINED:
A Jurat is used when an individual attests to the truth or accuracy of the statements in the documents. The Signer is declaring that the contents of the document are true. In performing a Jurat, the Notary confirms the identity of the signer, witnesses the Signer sign the document and administers and Oath or Affirmation to the Signer.
An OATH is a solemn, spoken promise to a supreme being made before a Notary in relation to a Jurat or as a notarial act in its own right. "Do you solemnly swear that your testimony is true, so help you God?"
An AFFIRMATION is a solemn, spoken promise on one's personal honor, with no reference to a supreme being, made before a Notary in relation to a Jurat or as a notarial act in its own right. "Do you affirm that your testimony is true?"
Both an OATHS and AFFIRMATIONS carry the same legal weight.
The big difference between the two: ACKNOWLEDGMENT (No Oath required) and JURAT (Oath required).
Acknowledgments are most commonly seen. Jurats are required for certain types of legal documents and applications.
