How do you notarize a passport?

Answer 1

Almost all banks of a notary. If you have anaccount at the bank, they usually do not charge. The Town Hall or City Hall may also have a notary there. There is also a section in the phone book under "notary public" that will list notaries in the area.
If you are a notary, you witness a signature attached in your presence and then you attach your notary seal.

If you are asked to have your signature on a document notarized, you would take the document to a notary, along with some form of valid identification, and sign it in their presence.

Answer 2

The general answer is that you cannot specifically notarize a Passport. Laws in every state vary, but the general rule of thumb is that a document issued by a government authority can only be verified by that government authority (e.g. Birth Certificate, Passport, etc).

There is a possible end-run around this that may be legal in some states - and that is that you can get notarized a statement by the requester that the document is a true and unaltered copy. This means that what has been notarized is the statement and the oath of the client, not the certification of the copy itself. This may or may not be sufficient depending on the need of the document.

Notaries are not attorneys, and therefore may not provide legal advice. As laws differ in every jurisdiction, this is a general answer, as always you should consult with an attorney or the requesting source for the governing factors in each individual situation.

Answer 3

A notary is a public official, like a president or governor. You wouldn't ask, "How do you write a president?" or "How do you write a governor?", so your question is unclear. If you are asking how to write the appropriate notarial wording for a document, you should consult your state laws, as each state has different prescribed wording for notaries to use.
