- If the form is being completed outside of California or not in the presence of an authorized witness, Section D must be filled out by a Notary Public who will verify the identities of the signers.
- Finally, ensure that the original signed form is sent to the Department of Child Support Services within the specified timeframe. The original copy must be submitted for the VDOP to be legally valid.
