- Complete the application but leave the sworn signature for your appointment. Meet with a commissioned online notary by video, sign when instructed, and submit the completed application to the City Clerk’s Office.
- Do I need to notarize this license application?
- Yes. The applicant signature is labeled “Notarized” and includes a jurat requiring the applicant to swear or affirm the information is true before a notary.
- Can I use remote online notarization for this form?
