Immigration Document Notarization and USCIS Forms

Immigration notarizations include: Affidavit of Support (I-864), consent to travel letters for minors, affidavits of relationship, sponsorship letters, and various USCIS forms. Each document has specific notarization requirements—never assume all immigration documents are notarized the same way.

The I-864 Affidavit of Support requires jurat notarization (sworn affidavit) in most cases. The sponsor must appear, swear to the accuracy of financial information, and have the jurat notarized. Errors on I-864s cause visa application delays—ensure accuracy.

Notarizing non-citizen immigrants requires careful identity verification. Acceptable ID includes: passport, visa, travel documents, or state ID if available. For RON, KBA may fail for non-US credit file individuals—have a backup (credentialing with ID) ready for non-citizens.

Many immigration documents are in English, but some clients prefer documents in their native language or need certified translations. You can notarize documents in any language (if you understand them or use an interpreter), but notarizing translations requires an interpreter or bilingual notary.
