Notarising Documents

I need to get all my documents notarised and have read on the forum that this can be done free of charge at your bank. I went to my bank and they told me that they can only notarise my signature. They asked me to write 'this is an original document' and sign each original, make copies and write 'this is a copy of the original' on each copy. They would then notarise the statement and my signature.

Is this acceptable for the universities? Also, how do I go about writing on my original documents, I can't write on my degree!? I was thinking of using "post-it" labels...do you think that will be ok? Is there any other way that people have got around this problem?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks!

Hi
Dont spoil ur originals.
Try going to some other bank. Usually they dont check if u r customer or not. In my case they didnt.
At the bottom of each xerox they will write "original seen by ..........."
and their stamp will come.

HI
thats perfectly ok with the universities and its the way they notarize in US. you have to write the statement on the copy, not the original and sign before them. If you are a student in some university, they too have a notary who will do it free for you.

Thanks guys,

Thats really helpful. I will just go ahead and make copies of the documents, write and statement on the copies and get the banks to notarise my signature. 🙂

In my case, the notarize agent made copies of the each original document on a sheet which says duplicate document on the top and put her signature and notary stamp. She did it for free. Hope this helps. Try any local college , library or university in the city you live, who can help. Good Luck!!
