Catherder is correct & I know first-hand. Before I was doing childcare my in-laws stayed overnight with our then 8-month old son & 2 1/2 yr old son. Late in the evening our 8-month-old (who had had RSV & pneumonia when he was only 2-months old both of which required week-long hospitalizations) developed a croupy cough out of nowhere. We had a form filled out for the in-laws giving them permission to take him to the ER & they did so. ER did give them a little flak about it not being notarized BUT they definitely did not deny him care. So I don't think they truly need to be notarized even though they may tell you otherwise.
