They ask $5 - $20 and many banks will have someone who will do it for for free if you have an account in the bank. That is much cheaper than doing an officialy USA registration. What the Notary notarizes is your signature being done at that place and on that date. ////jerry > -cpghost. > > -- > Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
