AI Explanation
Signing requirement — acknowledgment vs. jurat. For an acknowledgment, the document may be pre-signed; the signer merely needs to appear and acknowledge the execution. For a jurat, the signer must sign the document in the presence of the notary public and take an oath or affirmation. This is a key distinction between the two most common notarial acts.
