GP is probably not in Germany, but just an example of why I’d be uninterested in getting something notarized here unless my continued freedom and/or good fortune depended upon it:
American notary: someone who doesn’t have a history of fraud, sat through a workshop and passed a test.
German Notar: a very specialized lawyer, bills like a very specialized lawyer.
Theoretically, you can get stuff notarized at US embassies and consulates, for $50 and an appointment, must bring your own witness(es). That of course has not been an option much of the past year.
