- do not sign the document beforehand; otherwise, APP Lyon will not be able to notarize your signature.
- Fees for notarial and authentication services are $50 for each consular seal/signature.
- If your document requires the presence of a witness, please bring these persons at the time of signature. Consular officers and staff may NOT be witnesses for notarial purposes.
- For marriage purposes or PACS in France, the appropriate forms will be provided at the time of your visit and will be notarized on the day of your appointment. Witnesses are not required for this service. If you have been previously married and divorced please bring a copy of your divorce decree.
