Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the affidavit notarized for this application?
- Complete the affidavit fields, then sign and swear to its statements before a commissioned online notary during your video appointment. Submit the notarized form and required supporting document to the city.
- Do I need to sign the affidavit in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form includes a subscribed-and-sworn-before-me jurat and a notary signature and commission-expiration line, so the applicant should sign and swear to the affidavit before a notary.
- Can I use an online notary for this application?
- 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; because this form uses a sworn affidavit, confirm with the city if unsure.
- Does submitting the application let me start operating?
- No. The form says that submitting the application or payment does not authorize the business. The city must complete its review and issue the business license or occupational tax certificate.
