Affidavit notarization
An affidavit is only valid once a notary administers the oath and completes the jurat. Book a commissioned notary for name-change, small-estate, financial, or general sworn-statement affidavits — in person or online.

Certificate type
Courts, government agencies, banks, and title companies commonly require a notarized affidavit for: name changes and identity corrections, small-estate or heirship claims in probate matters, financial disclosures for loan or benefits applications, proof of residency or address, lost-document affidavits (title, deed, or check replacement), and general sworn statements submitted as evidence. Because the signer is swearing to the truth of the statement — not just acknowledging a signature — courts and agencies generally will not accept an affidavit without a proper notarial jurat.
Bring the complete, unsigned affidavit and a valid government-issued photo ID — do not sign it beforehand. The notary will verify your identity, administer the oath or affirmation, witness your signature, and complete the jurat certificate with their seal. NotaSealPros handles: mobile notary visits to your home or office, RON for remote signers in RON-enabled states, same-day scheduling for time-sensitive court and agency filings, and multi-signer coordination for joint affidavits.

An affidavit is a written statement of facts that the signer swears or affirms to be true, made voluntarily under oath. Because the signer is attesting to truth rather than simply acknowledging a signature, affidavits require a notarial jurat, not an acknowledgment.
A jurat requires the signer to swear or affirm the contents are true in the notary's presence, and the signer must sign the document in front of the notary. An acknowledgment only confirms the signer's identity and willingness to sign — it does not attest to the truth of the contents. Affidavits always require a jurat.
Yes. Unlike some acknowledged documents, an affidavit must be signed in the notary's physical (or, where authorized, remote online) presence, since the notary is administering an oath or affirmation as part of the jurat.
Name-change affidavits, small-estate affidavits, affidavits of identity, financial affidavits (for divorce, child support, or loan applications), affidavits of residency, and affidavits of heirship are among the most frequently notarized.
Yes, in states that authorize remote online notarization. The signer appears by live two-way audio-video, is identity-verified, and takes the same oath or affirmation as they would in person before the notary applies the jurat.
Most states cap notary fees at $5–$15 per signature/jurat. Mobile notary travel fees range from $25–$75 depending on distance and urgency.
