Colorado Notarial Acts are defined in statute CRS 24-21-502(6). Notarial acts include taking an acknowledgement, administering an oath or affirmation, taking a deposition or other sworn testimony, taking a verification on oath or affirmation, witnessing or attesting a signature, certifying a copy, and noting a protest of a negotiable instrument.
If you take an acknowledgment or sworn statement from two people, that is two notarial acts.
CRS 24-21-515 Certificate of Notarial Act. A notarial act must be evidenced by a notarial certificate.
CRS 24-21-516 Short Form Certificates allows several names to be listed in a single certificate. If there are two names listed, then two notarial acts were administered. Or, two separate certificates may be used.
For some notarial acts, such as administering a verbal oath of office, or swearing in a witness, there may be no document or certificate. But a notarial act is performed and is recorded in the notary journal. |
