I am currently trying to have a name affidavit completed to send to a Hong Kong law firm. I already have the affidavit written up and approved by the Hong Kong lawyer. The process I know of to swear an oath that all my aliases are me is to do so in front of a notary public and then have the county and then state aunthenticate it. The Hong Kong lawyer, however, is saying I cannot do so and must have a lawyer write up a "USA legal opinion" saying someone has the authority to witness my oath, but the lawyer does not say who, only that it cannot be a notary public. Is this "USA legal opinion" necessay and who besides a notary public would I swear to that can stamp or sign the affidavit? Any help would be very much appreciated.
