Frequently asked questions
- Which parts of the application need notarization?
- The application verification and included affidavits have sworn-to-before-me jurats. The owner affidavit is for cases where the property owner is not the applicant; the appearance affidavit is listed as applicable.
- How do I submit the completed application?
- Malverne's instructions request two complete collated sets and an electronic copy of the package, with each item in a separately named PDF or JPG file. Follow the Village's instructions for fees and delivery.
- Do I need to sign the affidavits in front of a notary?
- Yes. For each applicable statement with a sworn-to-before-me jurat, wait to sign until you are in front of a commissioned online notary. New York has authorized remote online notarization by its own notaries under Executive Law §135-c since 2023.
