An acknowledgment is used when a signer confirms to the notary that they voluntarily signed a document.

At Gold Rush Notary, we verify the signer’s identity and ensure the signature was made willingly. Once confirmed, we complete the acknowledgment with the official California notary seal.

A jurat, also known as a “verification upon oath or affirmation,” is used when a signer swears or affirms that the contents of a document are true.

At Gold Rush Notary, we administer jurats by confirming the signer’s identity and guiding them through a verbal oath or affirmation. This notarial act ensures the document’s statements are made truthfully and under penalty of perjury.
