A notary public can witness signatures, administer oaths, and certify copies of immigration documents. They cannot prepare USCIS forms, choose visa categories, or give any kind of legal advice unless they are also a licensed attorney or BIA-accredited representative. For form strategy, work with an immigration attorney. For the signing and authentication steps, a NotarySeal notary makes the process faster and avoids the common pitfalls that get filings rejected.
USCIS requires every non-English document to be accompanied by a full English translation and a certificate of accuracy signed by the translator. Notaries can notarize the translator's certificate. When documents cross borders the other way — a US birth certificate going to Italy, for example — you'll typically need notarization plus apostille (or embassy legalization for non-Hague countries). NotarySeal handles both ends of the pipeline.
A notary can notarize signatures on immigration documents and certify copies, but cannot give legal advice or 'translate' forms. For form preparation, work with an attorney or BIA-accredited representative — your notary can refer one.
Affidavits of support (I-864 supporting evidence), sponsor declarations, parental consent forms, marriage and birth records used as evidence, and translations from non-English documents.
Notaries don't translate. But they can notarize a translator's certificate of accuracy — required by USCIS for any non-English document. Many NotarySeal notaries are bilingual and can coordinate certified translators.
For documents headed to a consulate or foreign government, you'll often need notarization plus apostille or embassy legalization. NotarySeal agents handle the full pipeline.
In the US, 'notario' does not mean attorney — it means a state-commissioned notary public. Make sure anyone advising on your immigration case is a licensed attorney or BIA-accredited representative, not just a notario.
