[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Notaries commissioned through the Pennsylvania Department of State, notary program, mobile notaries and signing agents working in Pennsylvania who want Pennsylvania's own certificate wording on hand, ready to fill in when a document arrives without a certificate or for a remote act. Not the right fit if You aren't a Pennsylvania notary, or you only need to read the wording: it's public law and free on our Pennsylvania certificate wording page. This pack doesn't decide which certificate a document needs or replace advice from an attorney. Why it is different - Only official sources: 57 Pa.C.S. Chapter 3, Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (Pennsylvania General Assembly). No association templates or vendor forms. - Every core act has an official Pennsylvania form, each cited. Checked November 2026. - The wording is public law and free on our Pennsylvania page; the pack is the fill-in files, the chart and the checklist. What is inside - **Which certificate do I use? (Pennsylvania).** One page: each Pennsylvania notarial act, when it's used and where its wording comes from: acknowledgment (individual) (57 Pa.C.S. § 316(1)); acknowledgment (representative capacity) (57 Pa.C.S. § 316(2)); jurat (verification on oath or affirmation) (57 Pa.C.S. § 316(3)); signature witnessing (57 Pa.C.S. § 316(4)); copy certification (57 Pa.C.S. § 316(5)); certifying a deposition transcript (57 Pa.C.S. § 316(6)); remote or electronic act statement (57 Pa.C.S. § 306.1(d)(1)). - **Pennsylvania certificate wording reference.** Every form word for word with its source and check date. The acknowledgment reads "This record was acknowledged before me on __________ (date) by __________ (name(s) of individual(s))." and the jurat "Signed and sworn to (or affirmed) before me on __________ (date) by __________ (name(s) of individual(s) making statement)." Then what a Pennsylvania certificate must contain: the certificate is executed at the time of the act, signed and dated, identifies the county and state where the act is performed, and contains your title of office; sign exactly and only as your name appears on your commission, and show your commission expiration date on the certificate; the seal is a rubber stamp showing, in this order: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; Notary Seal; your name as commissioned and the words Notary Public; the county where you maintain an office; your commission expiration date. Maximum 1 inch high by 3.5 inches wide, with a plain border. - **Fill-in certificates (Word and PDF).** Seven certificates, one per page, for the acknowledgment (individual), acknowledgment (representative capacity), jurat (verification on oath or affirmation), signature witnessing, copy certification, certifying a deposition transcript and remote or electronic act statement, with blanks for the venue, date, names and your signature, seal and commission details. Remote acts: add the 57 Pa.C.S. § 306.1(d)(1) statement, "This notarial act involved the use of communication technology." - **Common-mistakes checklist.** Five mistakes from 57 Pa.C.S. Chapter 3, Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (Pennsylvania General Assembly), among them: signing with a name that differs from the commission (a nickname or a missing middle initial that the commission shows); A seal that leaves out the county or expiration date, or is not in the order section 317 sets; notarizing a record in which you or your spouse has a direct or pecuniary interest. Plus a before-you-sign check.
