Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notary section?
- Sign the criminal history authorization in front of the notary, who completes the “Sworn and Subscribed Before Me” jurat. Do not sign it ahead of your appointment.
- Do I need to notarize the entire application?
- The packet’s notary block appears on the fingerprint authorization, not the general license application pages. Follow the city’s instructions for completing and submitting the rest of the packet.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- 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). This form requires a sworn jurat, so confirm with the city if unsure.
- What must I submit with the application?
- The packet asks applicants to submit the completed application, required attachments, and payment to Leesburg City Hall. Attachments include criminal history record consent for each person named and valid identification for each person named.
