Frequently asked questions
- Which parts of the package require notarization?
- The private-employer affidavit and the affidavit verifying status for a public-benefit application each contain a subscribed-and-sworn-before-me jurat and notary commission-expiration line.
- How do I prepare the affidavits for notarization?
- Complete the applicable affidavit sections, bring the required identification, and leave the signature for the notary appointment. The package says a secure and verifiable document must accompany the public-benefit affidavit.
- Do I need to complete both affidavits?
- The package describes different situations for each affidavit. The private-employer form asks employers to select an employee-count option; the public-benefit affidavit applies to specified applicants. Confirm with the city if unsure.
- Can I use an online notary for this Bowdon form?
- Georgia has no remote online notarization statute of its own. Georgia law recognizes acknowledgments taken by notaries of other states (O.C.G.A. §44-2-21); ask Bowdon whether it accepts this package notarized by a commissioned online notary.
