Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the application notarized online?
- Complete the form but leave the notary sections unsigned. Book a session with a commissioned online notary, show identification, and sign or swear to the applicable statements during the video session.
- Do I need to notarize every page of the application?
- No. The form identifies specific oath certifications for licensees and the premises owner, and a separate jurat for the transferor’s bulk-transfer affidavit. Have each applicable signer complete the correct notary block.
- Does Maryland allow remote online notarization for this form?
- Maryland’s remote-notarization framework is based on the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, codified in State Government Article, Title 18, Annotated Code of Maryland, in effect since 2020. Confirm the City’s submission requirements before filing.
- What else must accompany the license application?
- The instructions list supporting items such as zoning approval, required copies, premises plans, training certificates, and tax and entity records. Transfers also require transfer documents. Review the full instructions and confirm with the city if unsure.
