Oath & Affirmation Client Checklist
Verify Identity
Provide a valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver's license, passport). You will be asked to confirm you are the individual matching the I.D. document provided.
Review the Document
Ensure you do not sign any document without the Notary Public as a witness to signing. Ensure you (deponent) understands and agrees to the document(s) being signed.
Choose your Preference: Oath or Affirmation
State which option works best for you: Swearing an oath on a holy book or affirming the truth of this document? (both are legal and serve the same purpose).
Oath or Affirmation upon Notary's direction
Examples of Oath / Affirmation: Oath (with optional holy book): "Please raise your right hand. Do you swear that the contents of this affidavit as subscribed by you are true, so help you God?" Affirmation (no book): "Do you solemnly affirm that the contents of this affidavit as subscribed by you are true?"
Witness the Signature
Make sure required document(s) are signed in the presence of the Notary Public.
Apply Seal and Jurat
Ensure the Notary Public affixes their notary seal / stamp. Review the Jurat for time, date, and year for accuracy.
