Should I notarize my Child Medical Consent form?
In most cases, it’s ideal to notarize a Medical Consent form because it helps ensure your document is legally valid.
A notary public:
Verifies the identity of the signing parties
Ensures the parties understand the agreement
Puts their official stamp or seal on the document
If you don’t plan to notarize your document, LawDepot’s Medical Consent template will have a space for two witnesses to sign. A witness should be an independent third party who has no ties to the parent or child. A temporary caregiver should not be a witness.
