Vital records

Birth, death, marriage and divorce records, and the forms used to request certified copies. Outside New York City: signed form plus a copy of one photo ID (or two address documents). A notarized statement is needed only for delivery to a P.O. box or third party.

Most states let you order a certified birth, death or marriage record by mail, but the application has to prove who you are. Depending on the state, that means a notarized signature, a sworn statement signed in front of a notary, or a copy of your ID instead. A notarized application is also the usual route when you order a record for a parent, child or spouse, or ask the office to correct one.

Power of attorney

Forms that let someone you trust sign or act for you, often for a single permit or application. Statutory form in New York: New York Statutory Short Form Power of Attorney. A power of attorney must be signed, dated and acknowledged before a notary by the principal and signed by two witnesses (GOL §5-1501B). The agent must also sign before a notary, but may do so later.

A power of attorney lets an agent sign for you, from a single vehicle title transfer to running your finances. Banks, title companies and county recorders usually refuse one that is not notarized, and some states also require one or two witnesses. Cities and counties often publish short authorization forms of their own, so an agent can pull a permit or file an application on your behalf.

Deeds, easements, leases and other documents that transfer or record an interest in property. 22 form types across New York; the most common is Revocable Transfer on Death Deed (3 places).

Documents that transfer or record an interest in property, such as deeds, easements and lease memoranda, must be acknowledged before a notary before the county recorder will accept them.

Permits and construction

Building permits, zoning and land-use applications, and contractor and owner paperwork for construction projects. 524 form types across New York; the most common is Building Permit Application (104 places).

Cities and counties ask for notarized signatures on construction paperwork so they know the property owner really approved the work. Typical examples are owner-builder affidavits, owner authorizations that let a contractor pull a permit, Notices of Commencement, zoning and variance applications, and lien waivers. A permit counter will usually reject an owner signature that is not notarized.

Business licenses

Applications and sworn statements for operating a business, selling goods or serving the public. 206 form types across New York; the most common is Auctioneer License Application (8 places).

Local business licenses often include a sworn statement: that the owner may legally work in the United States, that the business meets zoning rules, or that the details on an alcohol, vendor or occupational tax application are true. Those statements are signed in front of a notary. Employer E-Verify affidavits and immigration status affidavits for public benefits are common examples.

Affidavits and sworn statements

Written statements you swear are true, signed in front of a notary. 130 form types across New York; the most common is Disclosure Affidavit (4 places).

An affidavit is a written statement you swear or affirm is true, signed in front of a notary who gives you the oath. The oath is what makes it a sworn statement rather than a plain signature: a false statement can be prosecuted as perjury. Residency, identity, ownership and one-and-the-same-person affidavits are the most common, and many local forms end with a sworn statement block.

Vehicles

Title, registration, bill of sale and odometer paperwork for cars, trailers and boats. 3 form types across New York; the most common is Lost or Stolen Parking Permit Affidavit (1 place).

Some states require a notary on a vehicle title transfer, a bill of sale, an odometer statement or a duplicate title application, and others do not. Where it is required, the motor vehicle office will refuse the transfer until the seller's signature is notarized. Boats, trailers and manufactured homes usually follow the same rules as cars.

Courts and estates

Court petitions, estate and probate paperwork, and consent forms such as minor travel consent. 19 form types across New York; the most common is Notice of Claim (16 places).

Court and estate paperwork often needs a notarized signature before a clerk will file it: small estate affidavits, probate petitions, guardianship and name change forms, and travel consents for a minor. The notary does not review the legal content. They confirm who signed and, for sworn forms, give the oath.

Private mailboxes, parcels and PS Form 1583 with a notary on a video call

USPS and mail forwarding

PS Form 1583, the form that lets a mailbox store or virtual mailbox service receive your mail. PS Form 1583 is a federal Postal Service form, so New York residents use the same version as everyone else. A New York driver's license or ID card works as the photo ID, and a lease, deed, voter card or vehicle registration as the address ID.

Before a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency, meaning a mailbox store or virtual mailbox service, can accept mail for you, the Postal Service requires PS Form 1583, Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent. You sign it in front of the agency or before a notary public commissioned in any U.S. state, and you show two IDs: one with your photo and one that proves your address.

Requirements

Can my New York document be notarized online?

New York accepts an online notarization performed by a notary from another state, so a New York document can be notarized online with Rush Notary. Rush Notary's Florida-commissioned notaries work over live video and the result is recognized in New York, but deeds and other documents recorded with a county office may need extra checking with the receiving office first. For a mailed birth, death or marriage certificate request, the New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Records (events outside New York City) rule (ID only) means a notary is not normally part of that application in New York. Our New York requirements page walks through the details.

New York online notarization requirements
Which New York forms need a notary?

A power of attorney must be signed, dated and acknowledged before a notary by the principal and signed by two witnesses (GOL §5-1501B). The agent must also sign before a notary, but may do so later. For certified vital records, the New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Records (events outside New York City) says: Outside New York City: signed form plus a copy of one photo ID (or two address documents). A notarized statement is needed only for delivery to a P.O. box or third party.

Can I notarize a New York document online from another state?

Yes, for most documents, with a caveat. New York's own remote online notarization began January 31, 2023 (Executive Law §135-c). New York recognizes an acknowledgment taken outside the state before an authorized officer (Real Property Law §299, §299-a), which is how an online notarization performed under Florida law is honored; a certificate of conformity may be requested for recording.

How do I notarize a New York power of attorney?

Two witnesses plus the notary; the notary may serve as one of the witnesses. New York publishes a statutory form: New York Statutory Short Form Power of Attorney (GOL §5-1513). Rush Notary can notarize it in a live video session, so you do not need to find a notary in person.
