Kyle Stephenson
Linda L was kind enough to give me the coordinates for Kyle Stephenson, a Notary Public based in Southern CA, who will notarise documents using Skype, and obviously record them in his book. This is legal and acceptable in CA. The initiator sets up a Skype call, and then holds up a copy of his/her passport to demonstrate that the requestor is genuine, and is who s/he says s/he is, and then the documents can be viewed over Skype and recorded.
This is particularly useful now since neither the US Embassy in Paris, nor the Consulate in Marseilles will notarise (even though there is a notary public on staff) certain documents that US citizens may need (in our case, it was to validate a request for a birth certificate in the state of CA).
I have only ever had the need for a notary in CA, and do not know whether this process (via Skype) is available in other States. If anyone has any knowledge, please email me, and I'll post it here.
thanks, Linda.
