Need to swear to the truth of a document? Our mobile jurats notary public service provides prompt, professional notarization for sworn statements across the Central Coast. At SLO Notary, we help individuals, families, and businesses complete jurats correctly—with confidence and convenience.
What Is a Jurat?
A jurat is a type of notarization where the signer swears or affirms that the contents of a document are true. Unlike an acknowledgment, which only confirms identity and willingness to sign, a jurat involves a formal oath or affirmation taken in front of the notary.
As your local jurats notary public, we ensure your sworn statements are administered properly and comply with California law.
Documents that often require a jurat include:
- Affidavits
- Depositions
- Subpoenaed witness statements
- Legal complaints or motions
- Written declarations for court
- Identity theft statements
The jurat ensures the signer is held accountable for the truthfulness of the statement under penalty of perjury.
Jurats vs. Acknowledgements: What’s the Difference?
These two notarial acts are often confused but serve very different purposes. Here’s how they compare:
| Feature | Jurat | Acknowledgement |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Swears/affirms truth of document contents | Confirms voluntary signing and identity verification |
| Oath/Affirmation | Yes | No |
| Document Signed In View | Yes | Can be signed before meeting with notary |
| Use Case Examples | Affidavits, court declarations, written testimonies | Property deeds, powers of attorney, investment agreements |
If you’re unsure which notarial act is required, we can help you determine whether your document needs a jurat or an acknowledgement.
When You May Need a Jurat
Jurats are commonly used in legal, financial, and government settings. You may need a jurat when:
- Submitting a sworn statement in a civil or criminal case
- Responding to a government agency inquiry
- Filing an affidavit for identity theft or fraud
- Executing a death affidavit for estate or insurance claims
- Providing written testimony for depositions
We’re fully authorized to administer oaths and affirmations and will guide you through the process with clarity and professionalism.
What to Expect During a Jurat Appointment

| Requirement | Notes |
