Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Get notorized copies. But why bother, if they are competent at all they will look themselves and verify.

I think the concern is underhanded actions by the recipient, IE:

"The envelope was recieved, but did not contain the documents that are claimed to have been sent"
....all the while those documents in question were shredded, burned, and added to the dirt in the recipient's Ficus tree in the corner.

To PROVE that the documents claimed to have been sent were in fact sent is tricky, BUT I suppose you could get a Notary Public (which is just a fancy name for a state-licensed 'witness for hire') to stamp and date the contents with their individual seal, insert the documents into the evelope, and then STAMP THE SEAL OF THE ENVELOPE.

Since the NP keeps a log of each 'stamp' that is applied to ANYTHING, if a question should arise, then you would have a verified third party witness to the ACTUAL contents of the envelope, as well as a seal on the envelope to prove that you sent the correct envelope.

Deliver them by hand and ask for a "byitem reciept" is the only sure way.
