Frequently asked questions
- Which parts of the application need notarization?
- The form includes a sworn applicant status affidavit and a sworn private employer affidavit. The latter is completed when applicable; each affidavit has a subscribed-and-sworn notary block.
- How do I submit the professional application?
- Complete the application and applicable affidavits, attach the identification and professional-license copies requested by the form, have required affidavits notarized, and submit the materials to Marietta’s Business License Division.
- Do I need to provide a Georgia professional license copy?
- The form instructs applicants to attach a copy of the State of Georgia professional license for each professional.
- Can I use an online notary for the affidavits?
- 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 the city whether it accepts remotely notarized sworn affidavits; confirm with the city if unsure.
