Last month, I’ve observed how new and inexperienced Notary Public had improperly used the California All-Purpose Acknowledgment Form on notarized Affidavits instead of the California Jurat  Form on urgent documents needed in the Philippines.

For all notarized Affidavits, Notary Public must use the California Jurat Form. For notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPA). DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE, Deed of Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate, DEED OF DONATION and other documents (except Affidavits), the Notary Public must use the California All-Purpose Acknowledgment Form.

Last year, I’ve observed how notarized Affidavits were returned by staff at the Secretary of State, Notary Public Section in Sacramento, California because the new and inexperienced Notary Public used the California All-Purpose Acknowledgment Form instead of the California Jurat Form.  As a result, the apostille processing of the notarized Affidavits was delayed for several days.

Improper use of the California Jurat Form  and the California All-Purpose Acknowledgment Form on  notarized Affidavits, Special Power of Attorney, DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE and other documents needed in the Philippines and the other member nations of The Hague Apostille Convention will not only delay the apostille processing but will also result  in additional expenses  and unexpected pressure, anxiety and worry on the part of the clients.
