I-864

[mag0514]

We are preparing our I-864 forms and we have heard that some couples are having them Notarized. I know that each case is different and there may be some instances when it is needed, but can anyone comment on how they handled their I-864 form? Thanks.

It does NOT need to be notarized, it has not needed notarization since 2005, the wording at the bottom of the form makes it so that signing the form is under PENALTY of perjury.

 

Dear CFL,

 

Our original response still stands, and we have recently distributed guidance to our staff regarding this matter. Again, per the instructions on the I-134 form, it still needs to be notarized Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Our ACS unit would be happy to notarize an I-134 form for you if you so request.

 

Please note that the requirements for the I-864 family of forms (I-864, I-864A, I-864EZ) are different. Notarizations for I-864-type forms is no longer required.

 

For more detailed information, please see the instructions on the new I-864 forms at www.uscis.gov.

 

Sincerely,

Also not the above quote is a bit old, I-134 also no longer needs to be notarized because it has the same wording on it as the I-864.
