Can a Notary Public prepare or notarize immigration papers?
A Notary may notarize papers that require notarization such as the Affidavit of Support, but they may not prepare or file another person’s immigration papers unless he or she is an attorney or a US D.O.J. accredited representative. Q. Who can be a credible witness? A. An uninvolved person (someone not mentioned in the document and not a family member). Neighbors and friends are commonly used. The biggest problem with credible witnesses is that they might know the signer as “Fred” and not really know what his middle initial or last name are.
