Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the application affidavits notarized online?
- Complete the applicable sections, then book with a commissioned online notary. Sign the affidavit blocks during the video session and follow the city’s instructions for submitting the notarized application and attachments.

- The packet has sworn blocks for the applicant and private employer, as well as a subscribed-and-sworn block for registered-agent consent. Complete and notarize the blocks that apply to your application.

- What documents should I submit with the application?
- The form lists a lease or proof of ownership, building photographs, and location documentation, such as a scaled drawing or qualifying statement. It also lists publication evidence and fingerprinting for new applicants, including owners, partners, and shareholders.
