Notory question
Character references should be notorized - I hear.
If someone writes a character reference, do they have to sign it in front of the Notory, or can it be taken to a notory AFTER being signed and then have it notorized?

PS Character references do not have to be notarized. It can't hurt to have it done but not a requirement for the BCIS.

I'm not sure about character references, but I've had two documents notarized, neither of which I had to sign. One of them was a photocopy of my nursing licence. I had no idea you could notarize a photocopy but he did, as my original is in the States. They typically ask you if everything in the document is true to your knowledge, and then he stamps it.

Oh that makes sense because I will also need to get the stamp in my passport photocopied and then have that notorised for the embassy. Cheers Rockgurl
