You will need to bring one of the following forms of approved identification: Notaries may only accept valid, non-expired, government-issued (state or federal) identifications, which includes the signer’s photo and signature, to verify a signer’s identity such as the following: State issued Driver’s License or ID Card Military ID Passport Call if you have questions about your ID.
If your ID is expired, you have a couple of options Credible Witness: You can bring a credible witness who has a valid, current ID. The witness must personally know you and be able to confirm your identity to the notary. The notary will use the witness's valid ID to verify your identity. Known to the Notary: If you are already known to the notary public, they may accept an expired ID as long as you can establish your identity through your existing relationship with them. This often depends on the notary’s discretion and the specific circumstances. It’s best to contact the notary in advance to discuss these options and ensure you have the necessary documentation for your appointment.
