Under Pennsylvania's RULONA, what term is used for what other states call a 'jurat'?
Why: RULONA calls the jurat a 'verification on oath or affirmation': the signer swears the statement is true and signs in the notary's presence. An acknowledgment only confirms voluntary signing. Knowing RULONA's terminology is a common Pennsylvania exam point.
Is a journal mandatory for Pennsylvania notaries?
Why: Pennsylvania is a mandatory-journal state: RULONA requires the notary to keep a journal recording each official act at the time it is performed. Only one journal may be active at a time. This distinguishes PA from states where journaling is optional.
