A notary is asked to notarize a California statutory form Power of Attorney. The document lacks a notarial certificate attached. The client asks the notary which certificate to use. How should the notary proceed?

Ask the signer which certificate they prefer, and if they do not know, advise them to consult the agency receiving the document or an attorney.

Refuse the notarization because the document is incomplete.

Attach a Jurat, as powers of attorney require the principal to swear under oath.

Attach an Acknowledgment, as powers of attorney always require an acknowledgment.
