back to the silly question

If I were to run off several copies of a blank jurat, would I be able to use them, rather than ordering them from , say the NNA?

Sure! Why not, as long as ...

... they were consistent with your state's wording?r

There's nothing to say we can't make our own, using Micro$oft Word, for example. As long as we don't photocopy copyrighted material, such as the NNA's form, we're perfectly legal.

You can try the ones at

Just check the wording 1st.

wow thanks that is a cool site unfortunately, the jurat wording isn't what CA now requires.

www.notaryclasses.com has the new jurats for California. The link is halfway down the page on the left. Hope this works for you!

The funny thing is, I've gotten photo copies of the NNA's ACK in lenders package.

I called the Sec of State's office recently and asked if it is legal to create our own, and they stated that it was, as long as we do not add or take away from the actual notarial wording. I have created my own templates and like them so much better than the NNA or others I've seen online.

Re: Sure! Why not, as long as ...

I am sure those who sell forms for acks and jurats would prefer that we all believe we cannot make our own...however, if you have to, you can even handwrite the ack or jurat. At least in Texas, I certainly can.

Type up an ack and a jurat with your states wording and just use them as needed.

Sometimes, if I do an out of state package where I have to replace the certificates with my state's own, I type the bwr's name, my name, the venue, date, etc. and then I just sign it and place my stamp on it.

An alternative is to order stamps with jurat and ack wording on them.

CA Jurat

Hi Donna, you can get the Jurat from the SOS's website @ www.ss.ca.gov and print out as many copies as you need.

Re: CA Jurat

N.P. Handbook states that any acknoledgment taken within the State of California shall contain the specific wording for CA and I am sure you know what the wording is. My point is that whether you buy it from someone or make your own templates or make your own copies, it is all allowable.

I use my own templates to make copies of my own certificates, which I do like better than what I have seen on other sites.

A site for what? NY specific notary laws? If so, see http://www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/lawbooks/notary.html

As far as most posters here being from CA, I don't necessarily agree. However, it does seem that the most vocal are from California, with one major Texception.
