"Effective on March 10, 2020, the DotGov Program will begin requiring notarized signatures on all authorization letters when submitting a request for a new .gov domain," the DotGov Registrar says.
This is a necessary security enhancement to prevent mail and wire fraud through signature forgery in obtaining a .gov domain.
To request a .gov domain name, government organizations have to prepare and send an authorization letter and fill an online form after receiving a .gov registrar account.
This letter must use official letterhead stationary and it has to include a signature from the requesting organization’s authorizing authority the DotGov Program site explains.
This is the letter that will need to come with a notarized signature starting March 10, 2020, to prevent future attempts of registering .gov domains without authorization.
