Yawn, it's 6:30AM on Sunday. Ring, ring - finally my foggy brain admits it's the phone and I answer it. The caller is at Javits Center in Manhattan and wants to audition for an acting job. They require a notarized permission form from at least one parent. I ask the usual questions to make sure the notarization will proceed routinely. All of my issues regarding legal notarization requirements are answered. Initially she wants to pay cash when I arrive. I inform the caller that payment is made via PayPal. (She had "stumbled" on one of my "checkout" questions). She agrees and I give her the access link. I inform her that she will receive via email a receipt and I will receive a payment notification. I request that she call me again after the payment is made.

After a few minutes she calls back with a question. "I just want to be sure that it's OK that my Mother is not here and you can proceed after I show you her birth certificate". But you told me the person whose signature to be notarized will be present with government issued photo ID. "Well, being that I am paying in advance I double checked and found that my signature is not the one notarized - it has to be the signature of my Mom".

It's good that you double checked - as the information you gave me for going to you on a cash on arrival basis was not quite correct. I would have felt bad keeping your payment but would not have been able to notarize your mom's signature. Just wondering, why do you have your mother's birth certificate with you?
