How to Obtain a Notarized Copy of Your Green Card

Bring to the notary your original Green Card, a photo copy of it and a valid ID, such as your driver license or passport. Then follow one of the options stated below:

Option 1:
The notary should certify copy of a document by writing ‘TRUE COPY’ and putting his/her signature, seal and stamp preferably on the copy itself.

Option 2:
However, if your state law does not permit copy of the document to be notarized on the face of it, please obtain and attach certificate on the following lines:


---TEAR OFF THIS CERTIFICATE AND PASTE TO COPY OF THE DOCUMENT BEING NOTARIZED---
