Adoption Document Notarization in NYC
Adoption paperwork has deadlines and strict rules. We notarize the signatures on adoption consents, affidavits and supporting documents, by live video or in person.
From $25 · NY commissioned notary · 24/7
Adoption files often include consents, sworn statements, background and financial affidavits, and documents going to another state or country. Each signature has to be notarized correctly the first time, because a rejected page can delay a placement or a hearing. We notarize the signatures. Your attorney or agency supplies the forms and tells you what each one needs.
When you need this
- Consents and surrenders signed by a parent or guardian
- Affidavits and sworn statements for the court or agency
- Financial, residence and background affidavits
- Documents for international adoption that also need an apostille

NotarEaseNYC is a notary service, not a law firm. We cannot draft your document, give legal advice, explain its legal effect, or choose the right form or certificate for you. Your document must be complete before the session, and everything must be typed, not handwritten. Whether a receiving agency or company accepts a remote online notarization is up to them, so confirm before you book if you are unsure.
