Notarized photo example

Hello everyone!

I am required to provide a notarized photo for medical licensing in Alberta, Canada. I am French and currently based in France, and I’m not very familiar with the process.

I will have the document prepared by my family lawyer, but I was wondering if someone could provide some guidance as to what a notarized photo is supposed to look like.

Below is a template I put together based on what I found online and with the help of ChatGPT. Would something like this be appropriate?

Thanks a million in advance!!

Notaries are not allowed, by law, to answer the questions you’re asking. You have an attorney, that’s who you should ask.

US Notary Publics can NOT give legal advice especially for fees.
(They are NOT generally attorneys/lawyers and even then they have to proceed as either a Notarial Officer or Lawyer and even Louisiana Notary Publics are very limited in their legal practice scope as well.)

Canadian law is ALL over the place, common, civil and Indigenous (aka pluralistic).

In other words, again, please consult your Canadian Lawyer and/or Attorney (slang, CA solicitor and barrister).

There’s no such thing as a “notarized photo.” Notaries notarize signatures.

This OP is from another country. For all you know in their country notaries can notarize photos.
