What identification do I need to provide to have a document notarized?
To have a document notarized, you will typically need to provide one or two forms of government-issued identification that include your photograph and signature. Acceptable forms of identification may vary depending on your location and the specific notary you are working with, but common forms of identification include:
Driver's license or state ID: This is the most common form of identification used for notarization. Your driver's license or state ID should include your photo and signature.
Passport: If you don't have a driver's license or state ID, a passport can be used as an alternative form of identification for notarization.
Military ID: Active duty military personnel can typically use their military ID for notarization purposes.
Other government-issued ID: Other forms of government-issued identification, such as a green card or tribal ID, may be accepted depending on your location and the specific notary you are working with.
It's important to note that the identification you provide must be current and valid, and that it should match the name that appears on the document you are having notarized. If you have any questions about what forms of identification are acceptable for notarization in your area, you can contact a local notary public for more information.
