How to execute

Print on stamp paper, sign, and get it attested by a Notary.

Print on non-judicial stamp paper (or e-stamp) if the receiving office requires it, sign every page, and swear it before a Notary or Oath Commissioner, who will attest it. Carry original photo ID. For use in court, follow that court's format. Stamp duty and the stamp-paper value vary by state — check your state Stamp Act (or use e-stamping through SHCIL where available) before execution.
