Hi. Form SSA-1199 is a direct deposit sign up form, and if that's what you received then it doesn't need to be certified by a notary. Social Security doesn't require forms SSA-795 to be notarized either, so it sounds like you will only need to complete, sign, and return the forms to Social Security.

However, you mention that one of the forms SSA-795 is in regard to proof of residence. So, I don't know if Social Security wants you to submit some type of documentation in addition to your statement on the form. If you have any questions about what you need to do, you should probably try calling the Social Security employee who sent you the forms. If you aren't able to reach them, though, you can simply complete, sign and return the forms to Social Security as instructed. They should then let you know if they require anything else from you.

Best, Jerry
