TNT 2-24-2026: "The $10 Truth: Master the NC Verbal Ceremony & Bulletproof Your Commission"

Описание: Are you performing your Jurats correctly? In this session of the Tuesday Notary Tune-up, Belinda Baker Bennett (The NC Notary Compliance Coach) breaks down the absolute necessity of the Verbal Oath and the Raised Right Hand in North Carolina.

If your notarial certificate says "Sworn or Affirmed," but you didn't administer a verbal oath, you may be in violation of N.C.G.S. Chapter 10B. We’re diving into the 2026 standards to ensure your commissions stay protected.

🔍 Inside This Session:
The Anatomy of a Jurat: Understanding N.C.G.S. § 10B-3(10) and why it differs significantly from an acknowledgment.

The "Right Hand" Requirement: Why the physical act of raising the right hand is essential for a valid oath or affirmation in NC.

Administering the Verbal Oath: Step-by-step coaching on the required language you must speak aloud to the principal.

Physical Presence & Signing: Why the signature MUST hit the paper in your presence for every Jurat (N.C.G.S. § 10B-20(a)(2)).

The Perils of a "Silent Jurat": How skipping the oath leads to a "false certificate" and potential commission revocation under N.C.G.S. § 10B-60.

🎓 Compliance Standards Covered:
Oath vs. Affirmation: The legal definitions under N.C.G.S. § 10B-3(14) and § 10B-3(2).

The $10.00 Fee Cap: Reminder that the fee for a Jurat is capped at $10.00 per signature as of the Jan 2026 Revision (N.C.G.S. § 10B-31).

Notary Manual Guidance: Best practices for recording the oath in your journal (2016 NC Notary Manual, Page 60).
