rather each adult may be issued a government approved and registered stamp which is used for signing of legal documentation. Is there something I should file with the court to clarify why the PR would not have a notarized signature in the way we do here?
PR lives very far away from an Embassy, otherwise I'd have the PR just go there. Thank you.</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
