Question: 1 / 400

What is the main purpose of a jurat?

To notarize documents without presence

To make sure the signer signs in front of the notary

The main purpose of a jurat is to make sure the signer physically signs the document in the presence of the notary. Option A, notarizing documents without presence, goes against the requirements of a jurat and notarization in general as it is meant to prevent fraud and ensure the signer is present and aware of what they are signing. Option C, verifying the signer's identity through ID only, is not enough as it does not prove that the signer physically signed the document. Option D, witnessing the signing via video, is not a reliable method as it may not capture the entire signing process or verify the signer's identity. Thus, B is the correct answer as it ensures the signer is present and acknowledges the document being signed.
