Frequently asked questions
- Which part of the police officer application needs notarization?
- The background-investigation waiver and release includes an affidavit stating that the applicant executed the instrument freely and knowingly. Its sworn-to-and-subscribed block is for the notary.
- How do I complete the notarized affidavit?
- Complete the application and release, but wait to sign the affidavit until your notary appointment. The applicant must appear before the notary, take the oath, and sign as directed.
- Do I need to notarize the entire application?
- The form shows a notarial affidavit on the background-investigation release, not on every application section. Complete all sections and confirm with the city, borough or township if unsure.
- Can I use an online notary for this form?
- Pennsylvania authorizes remote online notarization for its own notaries under 57 Pa.C.S. §306.1. A commissioned online notary can notarize the affidavit remotely; check the department’s submission instructions.
