2.   Method of Consular Notarization or Authentication
 

The party executing the document personally appears before the Consular Officer and personally signs/executes the original document in the presence of the Consular Officer.  He/she should always submit the original (multiplied by the number of copies he wants for his needs) and in addition, provide one (1) extra copy for the Consulate's files.  He should also provide a valid identification card (with identity details and photograph) including photocopies in numbers corresponding to his requested number of documents plus one extra copy for the Consulate's files.  The fee is $25 multiplied by the corresponding number of documents/s the party wishes to obtain.  

  If the party/ies shall appear personally before the Consular Officer, there is no necessity that the document shall be notarized by a Notary Public. His/their appearance is sufficient and the notarization/legalization will be performed by the Consular Officer even without the stamp or signature of a Notary Public.
