, Please realize I didn't mean any disrespect in my first reply. You didn't post the nationality of the children or what consulate you were going to use so it was a very vague thing.
The US consulate won't notarize birth certificates because they're issued by the states NOT the federal gov't so we have to fill out an blank notary for stating the birth certificate is real and true and they notarize that.
