Good morning Clara,
If I remember correctly,the principals for this project are from out of town. It is customary for where they are from to
notarize on the back of the documents. Please check and see if the rear of the sheet is notarized, and let me know if this
will suffice.
Thanks,
Cody

A week ago you submitted a Lobbyist Registration form to the Office of the City Clerk at City of Miami Beach.
The Principal's Notarized Signature is missing and this Lobbyist Form cannot be completed as it now appears.
Please make sure you submit a notarized principal's signature page (page 2)and mail it to us as soon as possible.
