Verify, Certify & Notarize

I just received our first official document returned to us that was verified and notarized and it is....wrong!  Ahhhhh!  I have learned my first important lesson and that is to be very specific in my requests.  I assumed that all notaries would sign their stamp/seal the same way -not true.  

All in all, the paperwork needed for our dossier isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.  I am finding that living in a small town is helpful.  The police station and medical clinic are all within 2 miles of our house and my work so that makes it easier getting things signed.   Of course, if you have to go back and request that it be redone, it does make it a bit longer, sigh.

It shouldn't be more than a few weeks and we will have everything compiled!!!
