Solved

A letter of intent to be married does not need to be notarized for a visa application. While not required, some sources suggest that notarizing such a letter, or attaching a copy of the signatory's ID, may add credibility to the submission, but it is not a mandatory requirement for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I have been a licensed attorney for over 19 years. I look forward to assisting you with your question. I understand you're dealing with the need for an electronic signature on a letter of intent to marry while the other party is in Mexico.

Is this for immigration purposes?
Are you signing a form, or is this a letter being drafted?

This is to finish my Form I-129F for my fiancé to bring him to the U.S. and get married. He is in Mexico, and I want to see if there is a way to sign the document with a notary, if possible.
