Frequently asked questions
- How do I prepare this packet for notarization?
- Complete the applicable business and affidavit information, but wait to sign the sworn affidavits until you meet with a commissioned online notary. Bring acceptable identification and follow the city’s filing instructions.
- Do I need to notarize the entire business license packet?
- The packet includes subscribed-and-sworn jurats on the applicant status affidavit and private-employer affidavit. The renewal and other sections have separate instructions; confirm with the city if unsure.
- Can I use an online notary for these affidavits?
- 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. Ask a commissioned online notary whether they can perform the required sworn notarization.
- What renewal dates does the form list?
- The form says to return the renewal and gross-receipts estimate by March 15, 2026, to avoid a 10% penalty fee, and to provide a Schedule C tax form no later than April 15, 2026.
