Question: 1 / 400

What does a Jurat NOT certify?

Signer personally appeared

Signer was identified

Signer has been tested for competency

The correct choice is indeed that a Jurat does not certify that the signer has been tested for competency. A Jurat is a specific type of notarial act that confirms two primary facts: it verifies that the signer personally appeared before the notary public, and it indicates that the notary witnessed the signing of the document.

Also, while a Jurat does affirm that the signer was identified, it does not involve any certification or assessment of the signer's mental competency or capacity to understand the document they are signing. Competency testing is a separate consideration and is not within the scope of what a Jurat certifies.

In essence, the role of the notary with a Jurat focuses on the act of witnessing and the verification of the signer's identity rather than making judgments about their mental state or capacity.
