The validity of a notarized document varies depending on the jurisdiction and the type of document. In many places, a notarized document does not expire, meaning there is no specific expiration date for its validity. However, the acceptability and relevance of the document may diminish over time due to changes in laws, regulations, or circumstances.
For certain types of documents, such as powers of attorney or affidavits, some jurisdictions may require that they be executed within a certain time frame to be considered valid. In these cases, the document’s validity might be limited, and it could be necessary to have it re-notarized after a certain period.
