Jurat for California Notary Public
California Notaries must use the new notary Jurat form. Effective January 1, 2005, Assembly Bill 2062, Chapter 539, Statutes of 2004, adds section 8202 to the Government Code, identifying the requirements for executing a jurat. The new California notary jurat form is available in PDF file format and can be viewed, filled in and printed from your computer.
In addition, the new law requires that the notary public identifies or personally knows the signer, and completes the entry in the journal.
