What form of identification must be presented to the notary?
Many forms of government-issued photo identification are acceptable. At the very least they should include photograph, signature, unique identifying number, and name of issuing agency. Ideally they should also include birth date, issue date, expiration date, and residential address. The most common examples: – driver’s license or ID card issued by a U.S. state, Canada, or Mexico – U.S. military ID card – U.S. passport – non-U.S. passport stamped by the U.S.
