To complete any notarization in California, every single signer must present a valid, government-issued photo ID that proves both identity and physical appearance.
Acceptable Forms of Identification
Driver's License or ID Card
U.S. Passport (or U.S. Passport Card)
United States military identification card (must contain all required information by CA law)
Employee identification card issued by an agency or office of a city, country, or city and county in California.
Identification card issued by a federally recognized tribal government
Important Note
The name on the ID MUST match the name on the document being signed. If the names differ (for example, "Katherine Smith" vs. "Kathy Smith"), I may need to refuse the notarization or request additional proof of identity.
Important Legal Notice
I am not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice. This includes guidance on immigration, completing legal forms, or answering questions about the contents of your document. If you need legal advice or assistance filling out paperwork, please contact a licensed attorney or other qualified professional.
As a commissioned California Notary Public, my role is limited to verifying identity, witnessing signatures, and completing the notarial certificate as required by law.
