If you’re applying for a personal loan or financial aid, it is common that the lending company will request a personal financial statement from you, or have you fill out their in-house financial statement form, to check if you are eligible to borrow. When creating a statement, it is important to properly disclose all of your assets, liabilities, and income. And to validate the said financial document, it is always recommended to have it notarized by a notary public.
The notary seal or signature on the financial statement gives the document an added level of authenticity. However, it is important to note that the notarization does not make the document legal, instead, it only notarizes the signature appearing on the statement.
If you’re ready to have your financial statement notarized, you can follow the steps provided below:
1. Create your financial statement and properly enumerate all of your expenses, incomes, assets, or liabilities. If using a form, fill it out completely to the best of your knowledge. After making the statement, don’t sign it yet as you will wait for a notary public to witness the signing.
2. Hire a notary public to perform notarization on your financial document. You can go to the nearest bank and inquire for a bank employee who is authorized to conduct notary services. If you’re not able to travel, you can obtain the services of a mobile notary. To find one, you can search online using Google, or find an online directory that lists notaries public in your area.
3. After finding a notary public, prepare any valid proof of identification. The notary will need this to verify your identity, making sure that you are who you represent yourself. In advance, you can also ask the notary all the requirements needed for a hassle-free notarization.
4. Once all the standard notary procedures are met, you can already sign the financial statement in front of the notary. In turn, the notary will also affix the notary seal or signature.
That’s it! You can now go and submit the already notarized financial statement to the person or company who needs it.
