Every acknowledgment or jurat shall be evidenced by a _____________ signed and dated by a notary public.

Explanation:
A certificate is the official document that evidences the notarial act. When an acknowledgment or jurat is performed, the notary completes a certificate that states what occurred, includes the date, and bears the notary’s signature and seal. This certificate is attached to the instrument to prove that the acknowledgment or jurat took place. An affidavit is a separate sworn statement, a deed is a property transfer, and an endorsement is not the formal evidencing certificate for these acts.
