Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the contractor registration signature notarized online?
- Complete the packet but wait to sign the page 2 attestation. Book a commissioned online notary, show identification, and sign during the video session; then submit the completed packet and required attachments to the Building Division.
- Do I need to notarize the contractor registration packet?
- The applicant must sign the page 2 notarized signature block before a notary. The bond form on pages 4–6 has company and surety signature lines, but the packet text does not show a separate notary block for the bond.
- Can I sign the applicant attestation with a commissioned online notary?
- Ohio authorizes its notaries to perform online notarizations under R.C. §§147.60–147.66. Check that the city accepts the notarized application in the format you plan to submit; confirm with the city or village if unsure.
- What documents must accompany my contractor registration application?
- Requirements depend on registration type. The packet calls for insurance and license documentation, a $15,000 bond for applicable registrations, and, for certain first-time applicants without a state or Columbus license, available test results and an experience statement.
