An acknowledgment is used to ensure that the signer of a document is who they claim to be and has voluntarily signed the document.
The purpose of a jurat is for a signer to swear or affirm that the contents of a document are true. Depending on the jurisdiction, it also can be known as an affidavit or a verification on oath or affirmation.
A copy certification confirms that a reproduction of an original document is a full, true, and accurate transcription or reproduction of the original. Documents requiring copy certification may include: diplomas, driver’s licenses, leases, contracts, vehicle titles, Social Security cards, medical records and bills of sale.

This legislature amended the requirements for notary acknowledgement forms effective January 1, 2020. Florida Notaries must use new certificate wording for acknowledgments and jurats that indicates if the signer appeared in person or by audiovisual communication for the notarization such as remote online notarization. Documents and affidavits notarized using the old wording may not be accepted for recording and may be subject to questioning regarding the validity of the notarial act.
