An affidavit is based upon either the personal knowledge of the affiant or his or her information and belief. Personal knowledge is the recognition of particular facts by either direct observation or experience.

An affidavit is a written statement of facts voluntarily made by an affiant under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law.

The signer must sign the document in the presence of the notary public. The notary public must then complete the notarial certificate with his or her signature, the venue, date the act took place, typed/printed/stamped name, notary seal and expiration date, if applicable.
The most common place to get papers notarized is at a bank. You could call your bank to make sure they offer that. The second thing is, the mom would have to be there and sign the paper in front of the notary. You can't have someone just sign the paper, it has to be face to face to be valid.

The signer must sign the document in the presence of the notary public. The notary public must then complete the notarial certificate with his or her signature, the venue, date the act took place, typed/printed/stamped name, notary seal and expiration date, if applicable.
A notarized document can be invalid if it has missing signatures, improper identification, incorrect or missing notary seals, or an incomplete notary section.
An Oath or Affirmation are the only Notary Acts you can do without a signature. So, once a signature line has been added, the affiant can sign, and then you can notarize the signature on the document.

Electronic Notarizations and Online Notarizations The requirements include personal appearance, verifying the identity of the signer, completion of the notarial certificate by affixing the notary's electronic signature and electronic seal to the certificate.
