Operating agreements are legally binding documents that can be used to set up and organize a business. In many cases, they are notarized in order to prove their authenticity. However, this is not always necessary.
In some states, operating agreements are not required to be notarized and can be signed by two people in person or by emailing a scanned copy of the agreement back and forth. It is always best to consult a lawyer or an accountant for legal advice if you aren’t sure if your operating agreement should be notarized.
