Yes. All states authorize notaries to administer oaths with the same legal force and effect as an oath administered by a judge or court clerk. Adminsitration of oaths is one of the main duties of a notary, in addition to the taking of acknowledgments of deeds and other writings.
No, a notary public must be physically present in the state where they are commissioned to administer oaths, including oaths for depositions. Therefore, a notary in Florida cannot administer an oath for a deposition in Nevada, as they do not have the authority to perform notarial acts outside their state of commission.
Sure, when the world ends.
A commissioner of oath is a person who is authorized to administer oaths and take affidavits. This job is similar to Notary Public in the United States of America.
Generally, a notary cannot administer an oath over the telephone, as the notary must personally witness the signing of the document and the taking of the oath. While a credible witness can provide identification and attest to the identity of the principal, the notary still needs to be physically present to perform the notarial act. Some jurisdictions may have specific provisions for remote notarization, but these typically require video conferencing rather than a simple phone call. Always check local laws for precise regulations regarding notarization.
Theoretically, yes. Notaries have the authority to administer oaths within their state of commission. Since the president is always sworn in at the White House, only a Notary Public of the District of Colombia could swear him in. The presidential oath has only been administered once by a notary, for Chester Arthur, by his father who was a notary public. However, there was some debate as to whether or not a state notary had the authority to swear in a federal official, and so the oath was readministered by the chief justice upon Chester Arthur's return to Washington. So the issue has never been really established, but in theory, since a notary has authority to administer oaths within his or her state for any purpose, the president could be sworn in by a notary.

Yes. The Constitution states the exact wording to be used in the oath but does not specify that it must be done by the Chief Justice. Anyone authorized by law to administer an oath within the jurisdiction in which the oath is taken may administer the oath to the President. When Lyndon Johnson was sworn in after the Kennedy assasination the oath was administered by a justice of the peace aboard Air Force One.
An oath or affirmation made before a notary public affirming that the content of an instrument is true is called a "jurat." This process involves the notary verifying the identity of the signer and witnessing the signing of the document, thereby certifying that the oath or affirmation was made in their presence. The notary then completes the jurat by adding their signature and seal to the document.
Chief Justice John Roberts gave the oath to President Barack Obama.

The notarial certificate for an oath or affirmation is typically called a "notarial oath" or "notarial affirmation." This certificate is used by a notary public to confirm that an individual has taken an oath or made an affirmation regarding the truthfulness of a statement or document. It includes details such as the date, the notary's signature, and the official seal.
