California Notary License Practice Exam

A jurat is a signed and sworn statement by the notary in the presence of the person signing the document. This is different from an affidavit, which is signed by the person making the statement. A certification is not signed by the notary, but rather certifies the accuracy of a copy of a document. A witness statement is typically signed by the person making the statement and does not require a notary. Therefore, the only option that fits the criteria of being signed in the presence of the notary is a jurat.
