When getting a document notarized, a valid form of identification (ID) is required to verify a person identify. Notaries rely on government-issued IDs to ensure you are who you claim to be. So, what are the most commonly accepted legal forms of ID? 1. Driver's License - is the most widely accepted form of identification. Its government issued, includes a photo of you & give details like your name, address and date of birth. 2. Passport - US & foreign passports are acceptable forms of ID. 3. State ID card - for those that do not drive, a state-issued ID card serves as a suitable alternative to a driver license. Cards are issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent state agencies and contain similar identifying details. 4. Military ID - active, reserve, and retired members of the U.S. military can use their military ID cards for notarization purposes. Cards are issued by the Department of Defense and include a photograph and other essential details. 5. Permanent Reside Card (Green Card) - It verifies your status as a lawful permanent resident and includes your photograph and other important information. 7. U.S. Citizenship Certificate - issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It includes your photo and details of your citizenship status. Always check with the notary or your state's notary laws to ensure a chosen form of Id will be accepted before your appointment. Having the correct identification ready helps ensure a smooth and efficient notarization process.
