So, what’s considered an “acceptable” form of identification when seeking the services of a notary public?
Every signer must show valid (not expired) government issued photo identification. All identification must contain a photo, a physical description, a signature and a serial number.
A full list of accepted identification can be found in the Requirements section found under the About tab above.
Checking and verifying the signer’s identify is critical step in performing a notarial service. Some people may view it as a nuisance, but it’s performed to safeguard against fraud. So the next time you need a document notarized, remember to bring one of the accepted forms of identification.
