A corporate certificate of incumbency verifies a company's officers, directors, or authorized representatives. In Arizona, this document must be notarized for apostille certification. The state allows both in-person and remote online notarization (RON) by a state-approved notary, offering flexibility for businesses, especially those operating internationally.
To qualify for an apostille, the notarization must include an acknowledgment or jurat. Documents with only a notary’s signature and stamp will be rejected. For remote notarization, the notary must add: "This remote online notarization involved the use of communication technology."
