Erase In Legal Georgia Acknowledgments Forms For Free

Can a notary notarize documents for relatives? Georgia law does not specifically address performing notarial acts for relatives. However, the role of a notary public is to be a disinterested witness. Requests to perform notarial acts for any family member may create serious problems and should be avoided.

FEES OF NOTARIES Each attendance on any person to make proof as a notary public -- $2.00. Every other certificate -- $2.00. It is not lawful to charge more than $4.00 for each service performed.

Present your application, notary training certification and certified background check, no more than 30-days after completion, in person to the Clerk of Superior Court Notary Office, 10 East Park Square, Building C, 1st Floor, Marietta, Georgia 30090. The fee for a notary renewal by mail is $56.00.

A Georgia notary acknowledgment form acts as an affidavit to establish the authenticity of signatures on a document. The acknowledgment form must be attached to the original document; alternatively, the acknowledgment language can be placed within the document itself.

The web-based application is found on the Notary Public Application Form page. Follow the instructions to select your county and the appropriate application type, either new or renewal. Note: If your county does not appear in the county list, your county does not participate in the web-based process.

In the event of a name change the new signature of the notary must be included. A notary with a new name may begin to officially sign the new name when the notice has been received by this office; a confirmation of the name change has been received from this office and a new seal bearing the new name has been obtained.
