Notary Services at the Consulate

[TotalTommyTerror 0]

I have an appointment at the consulate for the notary services. One of the forms (I'm sure) that needs to be notarized is the certificate of legal capacity/intent to marry that my fiancee must sign.

Does she need to be present in front of the notary officer? And if so, is it a pain in the butt to get her inside the consulate to do so?

I made our appointment on monday last week, (man it really bites they were taking so much time off this week, cause our interview is Tuesday and the only available day between last monday and next tuesday, was next monday.)

I had to show my ID at the notary. I think the whole idea is that the notary verifies that thing. Don't know about getting her in the consulate.

As far as I know, there is nothing that your fiancee needs to have notarized prior to her interview. The letter of intent to marry is just signed by her (and another by you). The single certificate is an official form that should have been officially translated by a notary office in China. If you've written an "evolution of relationship" letter, it's a good idea to get it notarized (your signature) before her interview.

I know what form you're talking about now. I'm pretty sure that she will sign this in front of her interviewing officer.

For a K1, she'll need a certificate of no marriage, which will be submitted as a notarial translation from the Gong Zheng Chu, same as the police no crime report. Otherwise, nothing at all needs notarizing by a Consular officer. She signe the DS 230 part II in front of the Consular officer while she's inside for the interview.
