The Oregon notarial certificate for verification upon oath or affirmation is used by registered notaries public to provide a jurat for the administration of an oath or affirmation. A jurat is a certificate that verifies that notary has witnessed the named individual making a sworn oath or affirmation and that said individual signed a statement in the notary’s presence. The certificate must be attached to the signed sworn statement, filled out by the notary, and stamped in order to validate the oath or affirmation. A sworn statement is made on penalty of perjury, and therefore, making a false oath or affirmation is a punishable crime.
