WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHY SHOULD I GET MY SIGNATURE WITNESSED?
- This is a requirement from the US Department of State. When you gather your documents and take them to the Post Office or Clerk of the Court, they are verifying that you presented yourself and that you signed your application in front of them. They will use your identification to verify that you are the same person that is standing in front of them and that your picture is a true likeness of yourself. The clerks have been formally trained to witness your signature therefore they will review all the documents and once signed, they will seal the documents inside an envelope.
- You must immediately overnight the sealed envelope to us using a traceable method. Once sealed, the envelope expires therefore you must send it right away.
