The Top 5 Documents You Didn’t Know You Needed Notarized

Claudia Mitchell-McLeod • December 30, 2024

When most think of notary services, wills or real estate transactions come to mind. But did you know several other important documents require notarization? Properly notarized documents can save you time, money, and legal headaches.


1. Parental Consent Forms for Travel

Are you planning a trip abroad with a minor child? Many countries and airlines require a notarized parental consent form if one parent or guardian travels alone with the child. This ensures compliance with international child protection laws.


2. Medical Authorization for Minors

If you’re leaving your child in someone else’s care, a notarized medical authorization ensures they can make medical decisions if needed. This document is essential for peace of mind while you’re away.


3. Vehicle Bill of Sale

Selling or buying a car? A notarized vehicle bill of sale can make the transaction smoother and legally binding, protecting both buyer and seller.


4. Power of Attorney Documents

While commonly known, power of attorney documents are vital for various situations, including managing finances, healthcare decisions, and legal matters. Proper notarization ensures they are held up in court.


5. College and School Applications

Many educational institutions require notarized transcripts or other forms of documentation. Notarizing these documents ensures they’re accepted without delays.
