Texas Notarial Certificates (Downloadable PDF Forms)

This page provides commonly used notarial certificate wording for the state of Texas.

These certificates are provided as a resource for notaries and document users who may need to attach proper notarial wording when it is not already included in a document.

Important:
Notaries are not permitted to determine which notarial act is required unless it is clearly stated in the document or directed by the document drafter, receiving agency, or signer. Always confirm the required notarial act before completing a certificate.

Using the correct notarial certificate is essential for a valid notarization.
A “general certificate” does not exist—each notarization requires a specific act.
