How to request a New Jersey certificate ↗Watch out for notario fraud
In New Jersey, a notary public is not a lawyer. A notary cannot give you immigration legal advice.
If someone who is not a lawyer or an accredited representative charged you for legal advice, you can report it to the state.
If your question needs a lawyer
We do not give legal advice and we do not decide your case. We tell you where to look for a licensed attorney or an accredited representative.
