Correct. Bear in mind, that the forms themselves are the clue to this. The I-134 has a place for the notary to sign. The I-864 does not.

The new I-34 does not have a place for a notary. So. I'm assuming it doesn't need to be notarized any longer??

Also. I have tax transcripts from the IRS , do these need to be notarized??

Thanks for your help.

When this question was first asked in August, 2008, the correct answer was that the I-134 required notarizing and the I-864 did not. Since that time, an updated I-134 has been released, that does not require notarizing.

Notarizing a tax return is ludicrous. Notarizing is for witnessing signatures or attesting to a copy being a true copy of an original. "Original" tax returns are not in the hands of the tax filer. If anywhere, the IRS has them.
