POLST Form Notarization Request

A POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) form is a critical medical document that translates a patient's end-of-life care wishes into actionable medical orders. When these forms require notarization—whether for legal validity, state requirements, or institutional policies—having a streamlined process is essential for healthcare providers, notary services, and patients alike.

This POLST Form Notarization Request template is designed specifically for notary services, healthcare facilities, and independent notaries who coordinate the notarization of advance directive documents. Built with Paperform, this template simplifies the complex process of scheduling, documenting, and completing POLST notarizations while ensuring all required information is collected upfront.

Streamlined coordination for sensitive documents

POLST forms involve multiple parties: the patient (or their legal representative), the physician or medical provider who signs the orders, and the notary public who authenticates signatures. This template collects all necessary information in one professional, secure form:

• Patient and legal representative details
• Medical provider information and signature coordination
• Existing advance directive documentation
• Preferred appointment scheduling
• Special accommodation requests

The form uses conditional logic to adapt based on whether the patient or their legal representative is submitting the request, ensuring the right information is captured every time.

Perfect for notary services and healthcare professionals

Whether you're running an independent notary service, working as a mobile notary specializing in medical documents, or managing notarization services for a healthcare facility, this template helps you:

• Collect complete information upfront to avoid back-and-forth communication
• Coordinate with medical providers who need to sign before notarization
• Schedule appointments efficiently with clear availability preferences
• Maintain professionalism with a branded, secure intake process
• Document advance directive status to ensure continuity of care planning
