California Notary License Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What does the Jurat verify?

The document is original

The notary knows the signer

The signer appeared before the notary and signed in their presence

The Jurat is a type of notarial act where the notary certifies that the signer personally appeared before them and signed the document in their presence. This verifies that the identity of the signer is accurate and that they are signing the document willingly. Option A is incorrect because the Jurat does not verify the originality of the document. Option B is incorrect because the notary may not necessarily know the signer, but they must confirm their identity through proper identification measures before authorizing the Jurat. Option D is also incorrect because the Jurat does not verify the residency of the signer, only their presence and signature in front of the notary.
