Each person appearing before you must establish identification by positive and reliable evidence before this form is signed, unless he or she is personally

the adequacy of the identification.
The signatures to the request must be executed in your presence. Fully complete and sign the certification form provided for your use for each signature you
witness.
If you are an employee (rather than an officer) authorized to certify signatures, insert the words “Authorized Signature” in the space provided for the title. Insert
the place and date, as required on the form, and impress the seal of your organization.
