Two separate sign/name afds, then there are two separate Jurats. One for each. Two line-items in your book.
Was the signer (borrower) represeting himself (individual) or was he/she representing a company, partner, etc.? It's subjective.

You should include a loose notarial certficate for every signed document you need to notarize. Hypotheticaly, you could have one person sign 20 documents. Each time you notarize his/her signature on those 20 documents, you must add a notarial certificate.
However, if you notarize just one person's signature for all 20 documents, then you need to only add one listing in your Notary Public journal, making sure that you list the fact of the 20 documents before you.
If more then one person exists, then you need to name them separately. Believe me, from personal expierence, when I first started out as a notary public I accidentially messed up on my first "assignment". And, as my luck would have it, I was called to the local court house to testify as to my witnessing of the document. To make a long story short, the judge nicely told me in private that I should record everybody present. Sometimes even the people not named in the doucment. Anyone seeing the person sign his name, should also be listed in your journal. It's for your protection.
Thankfully, the judge was understanding and accepted my testimony as a public officer, not "dowing" me in open court, and suggested that I get it right the next time (not in open court). THANK GOD FOR THAT!!! I thought I was going to be reported and lose my commission.
