Notarized Letter of Invite

[ShazluvzDan]

Hi Im sending my a letter of invite to my b/f in Lebanon to come and visit me for 3 weeks.. How do I know if I have to get my letter notarized before I send it to him?? Where would I go to get that done and why would it have to be notarized?????.........Help?
Thx Shaz!

ShazluvzDan,
I think 'notarized' means you personally sign the letter to show that you wrote it.  Good luck!

p.s. if you have any other letters of support (for your b/f's visit) get them signed too ;)

Ok Notarized means you have to take your letter and have it stamped by either a public notary (quebec) or a lawyer. SO don't sign it yourself

Yes, I guess the proper term for notarizing a letter is that but in this case it is a letter of invitation from someone.  Just sign the letter and attach a copy of any ID documents you have like a driver's license or passport to prove to the embassy that it was you that wrote the letter of invitation.  It will be obvious that your signature matches your ID documents.

You should also get other letters done like this from any family or friends (if possible) to show that he is welcomed and he will be treated as a guest.  This will show stronger support of your friend's visit to Canada.  I don't recommend saying that he is your b/f.

Hope that helps!
