Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit the Jefferson alcohol license renewal application?
- Complete and notarize the application, then submit it to the City of Jefferson. The instructions also require submission through the state portal. The application says renewals must be filed before November 30.
- Do I need to notarize every page of the renewal packet?
- The packet identifies specific sworn statements and consent forms with notary blocks; it does not say every page needs notarization. Sign the applicable forms before a notary and confirm with the city if unsure.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for these sworn forms?
- 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 the city whether it accepts remote notarization for these sworn forms.
- Who must complete the background investigation consent?
- The form says a separate consent is required for the person or entity receiving the license and the designated manager for individual businesses or partnerships. Corporations should complete forms for officers and the designated manager.
