Frequently asked questions
- Which parts of the application need notarization?
- The Owner’s Affidavit and Contractor’s Affidavit each include a sworn-to-and-subscribed-before-me jurat, notary signature line, seal space, and commission-expiration line.
- How do I prepare the affidavits for notarization?
- Complete the applicable affidavit details, but wait to sign until your notary instructs you. Bring valid identification and have the required documents ready for your appointment.
- Do I need to notarize both affidavits?
- The form includes notarization blocks for both affidavits. If both the owner and contractor are completing their respective affidavits, each signer should sign before a notary.
- Can I use online notarization for this form?
