A. A notary cannot certify a copy of a birth or death certificate. Refer the person instead to the Bureau of Vital Statistics or county clerk’s office in the county where the birth or death occurred. Q. Should a Notary Public rely on only a credit card in determining the identification of a signer. A. No. If the signer is not personally known by the Notary Public or identified by a credible witness, the Notary Public must use an identification card issue by a governmental agency or a passport issued by the United States to identify the signer.
