number1poophead Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey all! Next week is our big week! Of course, questions keep popping into my head. I've got a couple questions about getting something notarized at GUZ. First, how long does it take? Finished within the day?Second, is there any cost for having something notarized? Thanks!

dnoblett Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Notarizing is a notary officer witnessing your signature, they do it while you are there, simply go to American Services, take a number, and when it is called you get it done. http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/no...ces_260608.html $20-$30 OUCH!!! Much more than the FREE notaries in the USA, at many banks. Edited December 11, 2008 by dnoblett (see edit history) Link to comment
number1poophead Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ah, I see. Thanks! I think I can handle the fee. Link to comment
bob&haiqing Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 American Services notary closes promptly at 3:00 pm if I remember correctly (check our interview details, I mentioned it there when it was fresh in my mind almost 3 months ago) so if you're going to ACH on the 15th be certain to get your stuff notarized before you go to ACH. There was a pretty good crowd the day I went to ACH and I was one of the last people called and didn't get out of there until about 3:20 pm ... too late to get things notarized. Good luck this week!Bob Link to comment
Richard & Li Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 When I went to get documents notarized, I was able to walk right up to the window. There were only a couple of other American citizens there. I don't remember paying a fee. I think it was free. But, I am about the opposite of many Chinese people I know: I care so little about such things that I may have forgotten. Link to comment
