Which Utility-Related Forms Usually Need a Notary

Landlord affidavit to start or transfer service

When a prior tenant left a balance, utilities may require a landlord’s sworn statement confirming the new tenant is unrelated to the debt. This uses a jurat because the owner is swearing to facts.

Tenant responsibility letter

Some providers ask for a notarized letter stating the tenant accepts responsibility for water, power, or gas bills at a specific address and unit.

Proof of residency letter

Schools, DMVs, and agencies sometimes accept a landlord’s notarized letter verifying a person resides at the address when standard proofs are not available.

Lease assignment or assumption

When one tenant takes over another’s obligations, the written assignment is often notarized so utilities, HOAs, or agencies can place it on file with confidence.

Property manager or agent authorization

If an agent will sign for the owner, utilities or agencies may require the authorization or power of attorney to be notarized.

How Notarization Works for Utility Forms

Jurat vs acknowledgment

Affidavits and sworn statements use a jurat with an oath or affirmation. Non-sworn letters that simply confirm identity and intent use an acknowledgment. We attach Nevada compliant certificates so the form is accepted.

Who must appear

The person named in the statement must appear with valid ID. For an agent signing, bring the notarized authorization or power of attorney that grants signing authority.

What to prepare

  • Completed form with no required blanks
  • Exact service address and unit number
  • Account or reference numbers if provided by the utility
  • Names that match IDs and the lease

Common Reasons Utility Counters Reject Forms

  • Using an acknowledgment on an affidavit that requires a jurat
  • Signatures that do not match printed names or ID
  • Missing unit numbers or incorrect service addresses
  • Agent signs with no notarized authorization on file
  • Cross-outs, illegible dates, or incomplete fields

We correct certificate type, verify identity, and check completeness so your form is accepted the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Utilities ask for a notarized landlord affidavit when a prior tenant left a balance so they can verify the new applicant is not related to the debtor. This sworn statement is typically completed with a jurat, which means the landlord appears, takes an oath or affirmation, and signs in the notary’s presence. The jurat gives the utility a reliable record that supports account setup while they pursue the old debt separately.

We meet owners and managers in Paradise, Enterprise, Centennial Hills, and North Las Vegas. For forms that name an agent, we can also notarize the Power of Attorney. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements and Notary with Witnesses Provided.

Yes. A Property Manager or Agent may sign the utility affidavit if they show written authority to act for the owner. Utilities often require a specific Power of Attorney or a Management Agreement that explicitly authorizes utility actions. Many providers also ask that the authorization itself be notarized. Without verified capacity, the counter will reject the filing.

We notarize both the agent’s authorization and the affidavit in one visit across Southern Highlands, Green Valley Ranch, Seven Hills, and Rhodes Ranch. See Power of Attorney, Affidavits and Sworn Statements, and Notary with Witnesses Provided.

A notarized Proof of Residency letter is accepted more consistently when it includes four items the clerk can verify:

  • Full service address including the unit number and ZIP code
  • Move in date or the date residency began
  • Landlord or manager contact details for verification
  • Printed names and signatures that match IDs and the lease

Most letters use an acknowledgment. If the landlord is swearing to facts under oath, we use a jurat instead. We meet signers in Silverado Ranch, Sunrise Manor, Winchester, and Whitney. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements and Notary with Witnesses Provided.
