The principal applicant must sign the declaration and oath where required; signature affirms the truthfulness of the contents and consent to background checks and biometrics. Incomplete or missing signatures can result in unaccepted filings or RFEs.
An accredited attorney or representative may sign preparer sections and file on behalf of the applicant when properly authorized, often by submitting Form G-28 to USCIS to receive case communications and notices.
Check whether a document requires notarization or witnesses before obtaining signatures.
Decide between in-person notary and remote online notarization (RON) if allowed.
Signer must present acceptable government ID or complete credential analysis for RON.
For RON, ensure audio-video recording and retention meet state standards.
Confirm the number of witnesses required by state for the document type.

Notary completes acknowledgement or jurat as dictated by document.
Keep notarized originals and any RON recordings for the recommended retention period.
