CAN A NOTARY NOTARIZE IF THE SIGNER DOESNT HAVE IDENTIFICATION?
State laws vary on this point. Many states allow the notary to “personally know” the signer and notarize them without identification. Generally, a signer should have valid government issued identification such as a current drivers license, state or military ID, or passport. Some states allow credible witnesses to sign the notary journal and identify the signer. CAN A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, CREDIT CARD, OR MARRIAGE LICENSE CONSTITUTE POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION? No. In most states, a proper identification should be a picture ID with a signature, physical description, and expiration date. A credit card with a picture does not meet all of those criteria, nor do the other choices.
