Notarising US document

    I have a friend of my daughter staying with me for a month in the US. She's almost 18 but will not turn 18 until she is back in Ireland. I suggested to her mother that we file a Temporary Guardianship Agreement to safeguard any decisions I need to make on her behalf or to have her released into my care if she gets injured or arrested. This just entails getting a document notarised.

    Q. How do I go about getting such a document notarised in Ireland such that it is legally binding in the US?

    If it's a US document, you need to check the US requirements. For instance, in the US, notarizing documents seems to be the most common way of formalizing them. However, in Ireland, a common way would be to have a declaration witnessed by a practising solicitor. That said, there are notaries public in Ireland, and when I checked the witnessing requirements of one document required for the US, it needed to be sworn in front of a notary public. That's what happened, and it was accepted.
