✍️ Sworn before a notary or the recorder

Carroll County's certificate of assumed business name has a section to be completed by, or in the presence of, a notary public or the county recorder, sworn to before either. We could not read the Indiana statute behind it on an official site, so ask this office for its own form — the recorder may take the oath at the counter.
