State statute mandates that all signers present current government-issued photo identification at the time of signing. Acceptable forms include valid driver licenses, state non-driver IDs, US passports, and active military identification cards. The name on your identification must substantially match the name listed on your signing documents.
Expired credentials, digital phone scans, photocopies, student IDs, and credit cards are strictly non-compliant under notary law. If an individual signer lacks acceptable statutory identification, two credible identifying witnesses who possess valid photo IDs must be physically present to take oath and sign the journal.
