This holds true for Canadians too.

Isnt a notary an officer of the court? What does a notary stamp impart onto said homemade identification documents? Does an Apostile stamp or seal do any more or less to these documents?

If homemade documents can be used to re-enter 'these united States' can they be used to enter other countries as well?
