Oops - no, it doesn;t have "by", you are correct.
Florida's manual has the elements that must be on a notary certificate. As long as a certificate has all the elements it is fine. While that isn't one of the elements, it is acceptible as all the elements are on the certificate.
Usually the only document that I see that particular jurat on is the Signature/Name affidavit - and it never has all the elements on there, so I always have to add them in to make it conform.
I do not think you would have a problem putting your name, notary public on the certificate as long as the wording etc conforms to CA law.
Joan Bergstrom - or another CA notary would be able to help you better. Joan is a notary instructor, as well as a co-author of "How To Be A Wildly Successful Signing Agent" which I can recommend to all CA new signing agents.
