I have to disagree here....or maybe totally misunderstanding. Correct me if I am. I know in FL, they are to add a jurat if it is a sworn statement, irregardless of what we do in different states. But I also think they are unique in this requirement. I see these non-jurats regularly and usually on the junk docs. At the top of the document, they call it an affidavit, but it is clearly an acknowledgement on the bottom of the document, proved by the "acknowledged.......who did not take an oath" written right on it. Unless my state laws call for me to switch it out to a jurat, like FL, I'm not going to do it.

It just is not my job to decide what kind of certificate goes on the document. That would be the job of the document author and the decision has been made by putting an acknowledgement there. Further, unless you are in a unique situation like FL, I would be very careful in "choosing" the certificate that belongs there. Of course, if it was a non-compliant acknowledgement, I would switch is out with an Ohio compliant acknowledgement, but never a jurat unless the people who hired me told me to.
