Virginia 出生证明 Birth Certificate 认证-DC

https://www.commonwealth.virginia.gov/official-documents/authentications/

Virginia要求是近一年内拿到的文件。州政府打电话一般不会有人接,但是发邮件回复比较及时。
notary@governor.virginia.gov
michelle.thomas@governor.virginia.gov

VA 州的出生证、结婚证、委托书等证件要求是最近一年内颁发的文件。
委托书可以去公证员处公证,或者直接拿到Court处认证,任何一种方式都是可以被州政府接受的。
根据经验,证件类型如护照复印件公证员可能不给公证的,需要去Court处认证,再去州政府。

Why would a document be rejected?
Each Virginia Notary Public has taken an oath of office, in part, stating they will follow a specific set of guidelines when notarizing documents. A Notary acknowledgement can be rejected for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:
1. not having a proper acknowledgement on each document presented (notarial statement must reflect what is being notarized. i.e. – signature(s) or true copy of an original);
2. the State and city/county where the document is being executed is not indicated;
3. the notary’s registration number is either missing or incorrect;
4. the notary’s expiration date is either missing or incorrect;
5. the notary stamp or seal is either missing or incorrect;
6. the notary did not sign his/her name on notarized document;
7. notarization or issue date on the document is more than 12 months old;
8. document is not dated;
9. the acknowledgement must be in English.
