While doing all this today online requesting my daughter's birth certificate:
Formerly in Alameda County in California, if someone other than the principal was applying for a certified copy of birth certificate by mail/Fedex, that application had to be notarized. No more.
Now, after paying for that application, I was given the option to e-verify and thereby speed up the process. I just went that route. Had to fill in my social security number, date of birth and answer 3 multiple-choice questions to verify my identity. Immediately after completing that e-verification, I received an email with the following:
"IDENTITY VERIFIED ONLINE
Your Electronic Identity Verification is successfully completed in place of Notarized Authorization Statement.
Attached is a copy of your electronically signed sworn statement(s).
Your order is now ready to be processed by our staff. You will receive notification once the order is ready for shipping."
The process was so simple and so convenient. Extremely easy to eliminate one more notarial service.  Mea Culpa
