I disagree that an acknowledgment and jurat are "entirely interchangeable". They are two different and distinct functions with completely different and distinct purposes.
Please read the CA handbook pages 12 and 13 to completely understand the differences.
In the certificate of acknowledgment, the notary public certifies (among other things) that the signer acknowledged executing the document. In the jurat, the notary public certifies that the notary public administered the oath or affirmation.
These two are not interchangeable.
