Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized affirmation?
- Complete the application, then sign the affirmation while appearing before the notary. The form asks the applicant to swear or affirm that the application statements are true.
- Do I need to sign the affirmation in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form says the affirmation must be completed and notarized, and its jurat states that it is sworn or affirmed and subscribed before a notary.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for this application?
