Cranford, NJ. Fee confirmed before your session. Card charged only after it is complete. We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm. ## Who signs, and which notarial act The resident signs. When the family lives in someone else's home, the homeowner or leaseholder often signs a host statement too: book two signers, and they can be in different places. Usually a jurat (sworn statement). Forms that only ask you to acknowledge a signature use an acknowledgment. ## Ask the recipient first Only the person or office receiving the residency affidavit can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask: - Does the school district, agency or college have its own residency form? Use it. - Does it accept an electronically notarized form, printed or uploaded? - Does the host need to sign, and what proof of the host's address do they want with it? - Is there a deadline, such as the first day of enrollment? **The statement is under oath.** A false residency statement can have real consequences. The notary confirms who swore and signed; the facts are yours. ## Doing it online, step by step - **Get the office's form.** A school district's form beats a general template. - **Gather the host's details.** If a host signs, have their name and address exactly as on their ID or lease. - **Book for resident and host.** Two signers if both sign; each joins from their own device. - **Swear and sign.** Each signer gives the oath and signs on screen. - **Deliver it.** Print or upload the notarized PDF with the proofs the office asked for. ## Mistakes that stop the session **Using a template the office won't take.** Many districts insist on their own form. **The host not available.** The host has to appear and swear personally; a resident can't sign for them. **Addresses that differ.** The address on the form should be the one the office will check. Fix mismatches first. **Treating the notary as proof of residence.** The notary doesn't confirm where anyone lives. ## What it costs $50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm. For the usual 2 signers on a residency affidavit, that is **$60** for the session. If a witness is needed, a video witness can be added in the booking form at $40 each. Open 7 am to 9 pm ET, every day, by appointment. Have a current photo ID, a device with a camera, and the unsigned PDF.

Updated November 8, 2026. FAQ ## Residency affidavit: common questions **Can a school residency affidavit be notarized online?** Often yes, if the district accepts an electronic notarization. Ask the district's registration office. **Can the homeowner sign from another place?** Yes. Each signer joins from their own device, anywhere in the U.S. **Does the notary check my address?** No. The notary identifies you and gives the oath. **What if my ID shows an old address?** Tell the office; ID address rules are theirs. The notary checks identity, not address. **Can you fill in the form?** No. You fill it in; we notarize it. ## Ready to sign? Book an online session.
