Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the raffle license sworn statement?
- The form asks the organization’s presiding officer and secretary to attest to its not-for-profit character. Both sign and swear to the statement before a notary public.
- Do I need to notarize the business license application?
- The notary block appears in the raffle license sworn statement, not the business license application section. The presiding officer and secretary sign that statement before a notary.
- Can I sign the sworn statement with a remote online notary?
- Illinois law authorizes electronic and remote notarization by its own notaries and recognizes notarial acts by officers authorized where the act occurs. Ask Okawville whether it accepts a remotely notarized version; confirm with the city or village if unsure.

- It requests organization and officer details, raffle type, prize values, ticket price, sales area and period, and the drawing date, time, and location. Multiple raffle requests also require event details on a separate sheet.
