What does reference 46-1-2(9) relate to in notarial terms?

Acknowledgement
Jurat
Verification of identity
Affidavit

The correct answer is: Jurat

The reference 46-1-2(9) in notarial terms pertains specifically to a jurat, which is a notarial act in which the notary public certifies that a signer has sworn or affirmed that the contents of a document are true. This is distinct from other notarial acts like an acknowledgment, where the notary confirms the identity of the signer and the signing of a document, but does not involve any affirmation of truth regarding its contents. In the context of a jurat, the notary typically requires the signer to take an oath or affirmation at the time of signing. This process emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the information provided is credible and truthful under penalty of perjury. The citation highlights the legal framework within which notaries operate, especially regarding the process and requirements for administering oaths and affirmations for documents requiring a jurat.
