Acceptable Forms of ID

At times, you may ask yourself, “what forms of id can a notary accept?”

In almost all states, a Notary is required to have the signer provide at least one form of ID that contains the signer’s signature and has a photograph or physical description of the signer. So that means a social security card and/or birth certificate are NOT acceptable forms of ID. Some states allow you to accept expired identification if it was issued in the last 5 years and others will require only current identification to be accepted.

Make sure you reference your own state’s requirements for guidance. You will find yourself explaining the requirements of acceptable ID to your clients and why it is needed in order for you to perform a notarial act so be prepared.
