Failure to adminster the oath/affirmation when required is a serious violation of Ohio notary law, and can result in severe penalties! The words "Affidavit", "Sworn to and subscribed" or "Being duly sworn" in the notary certificate are your indication it is a jurat, and that the oath/affirmation is required.
(C) A jurat certificate shall state that an oath or affirmation was administered to the signer with regard to the notarial act. (D)(1) A notary public shall not use an acknowledgment certificate with regard to a notarial act in which an oath or affirmation has been administered.
The person signs a statement to attest that the copy presented is a true copy of the original, then their signature can be notarized. In this manner, the signer is certifying the copy; the notary is only providing notarization of the signature. In Ohio, the notary cannot directly certify a copy themselves!
One of the most common mistakes that notaries make is not printing or signing their name exactly as it appears on their notary commission.
If it is an acknowledgment, then yes, you may notarize it, but you may not notarize an affidavit or other jurat certificate if that document has already been signed, as that requires an oath or affirmation prior to signing.
