A notarized letter of employment?

[rika60607 215]

Dear VJers,

on the list of documents desired by the US embassy in France, there is a "notarized letter of employment".

I am lost here - original letter of employment is possible to get, but how do I get it notarized??!!! We can't expect an HR person to make a trip to the nearest notary, can we???

Please

Dear Wacko:

Why don't you get the original letter from your employer, go and make two copies, then go to a notary public yourself and have the two copies notarized? (that's what I did)

Then you can send in a notarized copy and keep one notarized copy and the original. Or send in the original and keep both notarized copies.

Huh? Notaries witness signatures. You would need the signer present at the Notary. In general, Employer letters are not notarized or even required. I'd ask your question in the appropriate regional forum.

Hi Pushbrk,

I know, I was very surprised myself.

Original letter of employment would be understandable... Since my spouse changed the workplace about two weeks ago I thought it would be quite appropriate to produce another (new) employment letter in addition to the old one, which was submitted to the NVC.

But notarized?...

The French forum is very inactive, so I guess I'll just have to try and fax my questions to the embassy (they don't give a number to call and don't answer e-mails). Uh oh...

Yes, I agree employer letters don't need a notary.

But I have had copies notarized by banks and notary's. I present the original document to them. They make a copy and notarize it as a "true and accurate copy" of the original.
