Notarize a Verification and Certification of Non-Forum Shopping Online
Court pleadings and many administrative filings require a sworn verification and certification of non-forum shopping signed by the party, not just counsel. When the client is in another city or abroad, chasing this jurat is a classic cause of missed filing deadlines.
For law firms and litigants
Counsel can prepare the pleading while the client appears before an electronic notary by video to swear the verification, same day. Firms with clients overseas can use the embassy-premises route the Rules allow for principals abroad.
What you need
- The verification page in PDF, matching the pleading
- The affiant party's valid government-issued ID
- Coordination with counsel on the filing deadline
