Notarizing at GUZ

[number1poophead]

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!

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.

$20-$30 OUCH!!! Much more than the FREE notaries in the USA, at many banks.

Ah, I see. Thanks! I think I can handle the fee.

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!

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.

If it's a "FORM" for GUZ, i.e. 1-134 it's FREE. Anything else has the fee attached to it.

That's what I got notarized. So, it was free: I thought so.
