One of the main functions of a Notary Public is verifying the identity of a person signing specific documents. Here are a few ways this can be accomplished:
A valid, government-issued phot ID that contains your signature and a physical description. The most common examples are:
• Driver’s license or State IDs issued by any US state
• Passports either issued by the US or properly stamped foreign passports
• Military IDs
• Other government IDs, such as permanent resident cards (Green Cards) or specific federal, state, or county badges
There are a few key requirements for these types of identifications in order to be deemed acceptable:
• Validity: The ID must be current or have expired within the past 1 – 3 years depending on your specific state’s laws (e.g. Ohio typically limits this to expired within the last 3 years)
• Information: It must include your photograph, signature, and a physical description (i.e. height and eye color)
• Originality: You must present the physical, original document. Photocopied or digital IDs are usually rejected.
What if an acceptable ID is not available? Here are 2 other alternatives:
1. Credible Identifying Witnesses. You can have 1 to 2 people who you know personally appear with you to swear an oath to the Notary that you are who you claim to be. These witnesses will need to present their own valid IDs.
2. Personal Knowledge. If the Notary happens to know you personally and can independently vouch for your identity without checking documents, they may proceed with the notarization.
Documents that are generally rejected by Notaries include Social Security cards, birth certificates, credit/debit cards, school IDS, and gym memberships.

In case you were wondering, the primary purpose of a Notary Public is to serve as an impartial 3rd party witness to deter fraud in the ex*****on of important documents. They authenticate the identities of the signers, ensure they are signing willingly, and verify they understand the contents of the transaction.
Core Functions
• A Notary Public ensures the integrity of legal, financial, and personal documents through four main actions:
• Identity verification: Inspection official, government-issued photo identification (e.g., driver's license or passport) to confirm that the signer is who they claim to be.
• Assessing Competence: Confirming the signer is of sound mind, fully aware of the document’s contents, and not acting under duress or coercion.
• Administering Oaths: Certain documents require the signer to swear or affirm under penalty of perjury that the statements in the document are true.
• Official Witnessing: Observing the signing of the document and affixing their official signature and seal, making the document legally binding.
Important Limitations
Impartiality: A Notary cannot notarize a document in which they have a personal or financial interest, nor can they typically notarize for immediate family members to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of impropriety.
No Legal Advice: Unless they are also a licensed attorney, a Notary Public is strictly prohibited from practicing law, drafting documents, or giving legal advice.
