i tried creating treasury account it says cannot verify your details and asked for to fill some form and notarize it.

is it same for all? not sure what did i miss? 

Usually it happens if there is already one account from that address ( I think ) . My wife account is in pending state... Same - asking to fill form

No bank is notarizing it, that’s the problem 

Intially had the issue but after explaining to the bank , they helped me out.  

And notory is not mandatory frm bank, u can do it from outside as well !

Then you are stuck, happened to me too. I think if we moved recently and give new address the third party can’t verify. Banks we’re notarizing last year but not anymore. I heard brokerages like fidelity will do it but I didn’t try. 

yes i moved recently too. may be that why

Which bank? I tried 3 and none would do it. The form specifically says you can’t use outside notary.
