Acceptable Forms of Identification:

  • A driver's license or identification card, issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles;
  • U.S. Passport;
  • Other State-approved identification consisting of any of the following, provided it also contains a photograph, description of the person, signature of the person and an identifying number:

     

      • A passport issued by a foreign government, provided that it has been stamped by U.S. Immigration or Naturalization Service or the U.S. citizenship and Immigration Services;

     

      • A driver’s license issued by another state or by a Canadian or Mexican public agency authorized to issue drivers’ licenses;

     

      • An identification card issued by another state;

     

      • A military identification card;

     

      • An inmate identification card issued by California Department of Corrections, if the inmate is in custody.


Birth certificates, expired licenses, Social Security cards are NOT acceptable forms of identification.

For certain types of documents, credible witnesses (2 people who personally know the signer, will attest to their identification and have acceptable identification of their own) may be used when the signer does not possess an acceptable form of identification.

 

 

All parties whose signatures are to be notarized must be present and have acceptable identification.

 

Please know what type of notarization you need — an acknowledgment, Jurat or other — prior to my arrival. This is especially important if the notarial certificate is not attached to your document! Please ask the organization or person requiring the notarization to provide you with the notarial statement or to advise the type of notarial statement needed.  Because I am not an attorney, I cannot decide the type of notarization you need. The type of notarization can have important legal ramifications.
