Frequently asked questions
- Which parts of the process server application need notarization?
- The motion, petitioner affidavit, and two character affidavits include sworn and subscribed language with notary blocks. The applicant signs the motion and petitioner affidavit; each character reference signs their own affidavit before a notary.
- How do I submit the completed appointment application?
- The instructions say to bring the completed packet to the Superior Court at 601 Mulberry Street, go to the third-floor bailiff station, and ask for the Presiding Judge. After the judge signs the order, file the documents through eFileGA or the clerk’s public filing kiosk.
- Do I need two character affidavits?
- Yes. The petitioner affidavit says to attach two character affidavits from people who have known the applicant for more than two years and are not related to the applicant by blood or marriage. Each character affidavit has its own notary block.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for these sworn statements?
- Georgia has no remote online notarization statute of its own. Georgia law recognizes acknowledgments taken by notaries of other states under O.C.G.A. §44-2-21; confirm with the city if unsure about acceptance of this court filing.
