Can a document be notarized when the signer does not have the proper identification?
If the identification of a signer cannot be based on the notary’s personal knowledge of the signer or proper I.D., a notary may rely on the oath of a personally known credible identifying witness OR two credible identifying witnesses that are unknown to the notary. Credibile witnesses must have appropriate identification, not have financial interest in, or be named as a party in the document being signed.
