OATH

Is an oath only made with a Jurat?

Look it up in your state's notary reference manual.

Why don't you try the "orange search button" to find the answers to your questions?

Go away

I take back what I said in my earlier post. If you're still asking these inane questions after the response you've gotten on this board, you're clearly too stupid to be a signing agent.

Here are some questions that you should be practicing:

1. Would you like fries with that?
2. Will my food stamps pay for these Twinkies?
3. Got any spare change?
4. 5 dolla, me love you long time?
5. Thank you for calling Sign on the X, may I help you?

An oath MUST be done after every signature on every document. There are three acceptable oaths. You can ask "do you swear to the validity of this document?" Or simply say "scout's honor?" while crossing your heart, or you can use a pinky swear. Hope this helps.

Maybe in Michigan, but in CA that's not the law at all

The only acceptable way to swear to a document here is to say "this is my f*cking signature" three times while signing every page.

We're so much more civilized in Michigan

"Minced oaths" are acceptable in Michigan, such as "this is my freaking signature," or "this is my flipping signature," or "this is my friggin signature."

All the acceptable "minced oaths" are listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minced_oath

Hey Anon! Go sign up for a class or three. I think someone earlier posted that you're in CA. I have met so many "notaries" here that take a class, get commissioned and DON'T have a CLUE what they are doing. Do yourself a favor. Either go hang out with a loan broker for a few months or get thee to a class or three.

Anon, is just trying to stir the pot...

I think Anon is getting exactly what he/she wants know.... Some people get a kick out of stirring the pot, AND IT REALLY TICKS ME OFF!

Because it makes it more difficult for those who are asking sincere questions. Not because they are lazy but because they are new, confused and perhaps overwhelmed with all the information they've been trying to absorb.

It's very easy to get confused by the obvious and sometimes as we gain experience we forget that...

People like anon, make things bad for everyone!

BTW: Helping people is a good thing! Taking advantage of people who help is a bad thing! Just because someone helps someone does not mean they are trying to puff themselves up. If that were the case everyone on this board would be guilty.
Who gets to decide when it's okay to help and when it's not?

Sorry to vent, looks like I got up on the wrong side of the bed today!

Have a great day! ALL

Re: Anon, is just trying to stir the pot...

:-( Make that

I think Anon is getting exactly what he/she wants NOW.... I hate typo's.... I blame it on too much cold and flu meds over the last few days....

Anyway hopefully my point came across minus the typo's...
