What are the current requirements for notarization of documents?
The Affidavit of Certification, the Affidavit of No Change, and the Personal Networth Statement all need to be notarized. Notarization must include date, city/county and state in which notarization was performed. It must also include the notary registration number of the notary public, and the date of expiry of his/her commission. The notary certificate must be on the same page as the signature it is witnessing, and the DBE applicant signing the document must be physically present with the notary and sign in his/her presence. The notary must be certain of the Applicant’s true identity. The seal should be sharp, legible, permanent, and photographically reproducible.
