How do you write sworn to before me?
I don't quite understand your question, but if you are talking about a jurat, i.e. a certification by a notary public or other official that an oath was administered and a document was signed in the official's presence, the proper verbage is:STATE OF ______________COUNTY OF _________________Sworn to and subscribed before me this ______ day of ______________, 20____, by ___(name of person signing document/swearing)_____, who ( ) is personally known to me, or ( ) has produced ____________________ as identification.(SIGNED) ________________________NOTARY PUBLIC(or other official authorized to administer oath)
Can a notary public swear in a president?
Theoretically, yes. Notaries have the authority to administer oaths within their state of commission. Since the president is always sworn in at the White House, only a Notary Public of the District of Colombia could swear him in. The presidential oath has only been administered once by a notary, for Chester Arthur, by his father who was a notary public. However, there was some debate as to whether or not a state notary had the authority to swear in a federal official, and so the oath was readministered by the chief justice upon Chester Arthur's return to Washington. So the issue has never been really established, but in theory, since a notary has authority to administer oaths within his or her state for any purpose, the president could be sworn in by a notary.

Is it illegal for a notary public to fill out an all purpose acknowledgement?
I'm not certain what the all purpose acknowlegement your speaking of is - however -A notary is basically only confirms the person signing the document has been identified as the person signing it (preventing forgery). The document can say anything...even "I swear the name signed below is not my name"... but the notary assures that signature is valid. Notarys do not confirm any legal power to the document or should even be concerned with it's contents.It is true that in some States a notary can also give a legal Oath.
Does a notary seal on a document certify that the contents on the document are correct and true?
The answer is no. A notary only verifies that the person signing it, to be known or has shown proof of whom that person is. There is an oath that can also be used to verify along with any other means available that the signer is who they say they are. The signer is the one that must agree that the contents are true and correct before signing. Read up on Notaries in the notary section at a library for better details. Be careful to know what the laws are. Even notaries make mistakes. Know the laws for you and your area. Have a great day. vrc57.
What is the format for a notarized document?
There are two types of documents commonly referred to as "notarized", but which are completely different from one another. The first is a sworn statement, like an affidavit. The person signing is under oath that it is true under penalty of perjury. The notary countersigns with the satement "Sworn to and subscribed before me this __ day of ___. The other is an acknowledged document, like a deed or mortgage. Here the notary countersigns with a "acknowledgement". The exact form is usually spelled out in state statutes; however essentially it says that the person who signed it identified himself/herself to the notary and signed it in the notary's presence. It is not made under oath and is basically just a means of proving that the document was in fact signed by the person signing it.
Can a document with a date in the pass be notorized?
It depends. There are two types of notarial acts - an acknowledgment and an oath. When a notary takes an acknowledgment, the signer of the document appears before the notary and declares that he/she signed the document voluntarily. It does not matter how long ago the person signed it, and it does not need to be signed in the notary's presence. However, the date on the notary's certificate must be the date that the person actually appeared before the notary and the notary signed his name and affixed his seal. When a notary administers an oath on a paper document such as an affidavit, the person must sign in the notary's presence. Therefore, the document must be dated the date that the person appeared before the notary, took the oath and signed the document. A notary can never back-date or post-date a notarial certificate. The day that the signer appears in person before the notary, and the notary affixes his/her seal or stamp, is the date that should go in the notary's certificate. If the document is being acknowledged rather than sworn to, the date the document was executed/signed by the original signer is irrelevant.
In executing a notarial act containing a jurat the Notary must do what?
In executing a jurat, a notary must guarantee that the signer personally appeared before the notary, identified themselves with proper ID, was given an oath or affirmation by the notary attesting to the truthfulness of the document, and signed the document in the notary's presence.
When signing a jurat must the entire document be filled out in front of the notary?
Portions of a document may be left blank when the notary signs the jurat, but if those blanks are filled in later on, they are not considered covered by the jurat. Therefore they will not be considered as having been made under oath.
Can a notary administer an oath for deposition by phone?
Yes. All states authorize notaries to administer oaths with the same legal force and effect as an oath administered by a judge or court clerk. Adminsitration of oaths is one of the main duties of a notary, in addition to the taking of acknowledgments of deeds and other writings.
Does a notary have to know what is in the document he is notorizing?
Yes and no. The notary does not need to read every word of the document, and can not advise you as to the legality of the document. However, the notary does have to scan over the document for several purposes: (1) to ensure that there are no blank spaces; (2) to determine which type of notarial act is necessary; (3) to record the document description in his or her journal; (4) to ensure that the document does not require the notary to perform an act he is not authorized to do; (5) to determine that the underlying transaction does not appear to be fraudulent on its face. A notary need not be a lawyer and is not expected to know the detailed contents of a document. A notary does not need to know what a document says, what a document does, or whether the document is legal. A notary cannot tell you what kind of notarization your document requires. The document is presented to the notary, the notary crosses out any blank or incomplete areas, verifies the identities of the signers/signatures, and then performs a notarial act - either an acknowledgment or an oath - and that's it. If the document appears to be blatantly fraudulent or the notary suspects fraud or duress, the notary can refuse the notarizaton. The purpose of a notary is to verify that the person executing the document is signing it voluntarily, or that he/she took an oath that the contents of the document are true and correct. Notarization also verifies the identity of a person who appears before the notary, or that a copy of a document is true to the original. The purpose of having a document notarized is either (1) to assure that the people signing said document did so willingly or swore that the document is correct, and that they are who they say they are or (2) to assure people that a copy of a document is a true copy of the original. An affidavit, a type of notarized statement, is similar to speaking in court. Upon signing an affidavit, the signer swears by oath or affirmation that the words in the document are his/her words. The notary verifies that the person is who they claim to be and must witness the signature hitting the paper.
