Answer to Question #10

Sue Furness

When completing the jurat of an affidavit, which of the following details is NOT required?

  1. The full name of the deponent.
  2. The town or city where the signing took place.
  3. The date the affidavit was signed.
  4. The Justice of the Peace’s signature, name, JP number, and the words “Justice of the Peace.”

Answer: a. This question assesses the JP’s understanding of the specific requirements of the jurat. The Ministerial Manual provides detailed instructions on completing the jurat, which includes the place of signing, the date, and the JP’s details, but not the deponent’s full name.
