A notarized CPA letter carries two separate certifications. Also called a CPA notarized letter, a notarized letter from a CPA, or a CPA letter with a notary.
Notarization adds identity assurance, not financial assurance. It won’t fix a weak letter — your CPA’s review determines your letter’s real strength.
A commissioned notary public, operating under their own state’s rules on identification, journal records, and seal requirements.
A notary can never certify their own signature. Self-notarization creates a conflict of interest most state laws prohibit outright — even a CPA who holds a notary commission needs an independent notary for their own letter.
A CPA can never notarize their own letter — a separate, independent notary always handles that step.
Only if your recipient requires it. Ask before you order.
Your CPA reviews and signs first. A notary can’t certify a signature that doesn’t exist yet.

Divorce, child support, and business disputes involve documents parties may later challenge — notarization confirms the document's origin.
Agencies process filings from applicants they'll never meet — notarization gives them independent confidence in the signer's identity.
A foreign institution can't verify a U.S. CPA license alone. Some also require an apostille — a separate step beyond notarization.
