wording of the document is consistent with an affidavit, a document may not be considered as an affidavit, and may be rejected or dismissed as evidence, if the notarial certificate does not contain the correct jurat wording.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawyers, paralegals, document preparers and document users should learn and understand the different types of notarial
