Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized consent form?
- Fill out the application and consent form, then sign and swear or affirm that the consent information is true before a commissioned online notary. Submit the completed application to the Riverdale Police Department.
- Do I need to sign the consent form in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form’s verification says the signer must swear or affirm that the information is true and correct, and it includes a notary jurat.
- Can I use online notarization for this application?
- Georgia has no remote online notarization statute of its own, and Georgia law recognizes acknowledgments taken by notaries of other states (O.C.G.A. §44-2-21). Ask Riverdale whether it accepts an online-notarized jurat; confirm with the city if unsure.
- What should I bring to my online notary appointment?
- Have the completed form and identification ready. Do not sign the consent form until the commissioned online notary instructs you to do so during the video session.
