Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized owner authorization?
- Complete the application details, then have the property owner sign the authorization in front of a notary. The form includes an acknowledgment block or permits attaching a separate acknowledgment.
- Do I need to notarize the applicant authorization too?
- The form specifically says the property owner’s signature must be notarized. It provides a separate applicant authorization but does not state that the applicant’s signature must be notarized; confirm with the city if unsure.
- Can I use an online notary for this California form?
- California notaries cannot perform remote online notarization until the Secretary of State certifies the technology or 2030. California recognizes qualifying out-of-state notarizations; a commissioned online notary outside California may be an option.
