When phrases like "signed and sworn" or "subscribed and sworn" are present on a notarial certificate, the action required is to notarize the document after verifying the signers' identity and ensuring they understand the document's content.

If the words "signed and sworn" or "subscribed and sworn" appear in the notarial certificate on a document, you need to notarize the document. This indicates that the individuals signing the document have declared under oath or affirmation that the statements in the document are true and that they have signed the document in your presence.

As a notary, your role is to verify the identity of the signers and ensure that they understand the contents of the document and are signing of their own free will. After performing the necessary checks and the signers have signed the document in front of you, you can proceed to affix your notarial seal or stamp and sign the notarial certificate, thereby completing the notarization process. It is crucial to adhere to the notarial laws of your jurisdiction during this process.

when a document contains phrases such as "signed and sworn" or "subscribed and sworn," as a notary, you are tasked with notarizing the document to officially certify the signer's oath or affirmation and authenticity of signatures.
