The identity of the signer can be established by the notary public’s reasonable reliance on the presentation of identification
documents meeting the requirements of California Civil Code. In addition, there must be no information or circumstances leading
a notary public to believe a signer is not who the signer claims to be.
The types of identification documents listed below may be presented to a notary public to establish identity. These identification
documents must be current, or have been issued within the previous five years.
- An identification card or driver’s license issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles; or
- A United States passport (a U.S. passport need not have a description of the named person); or
- An inmate identification card issued by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, if the inmate is in
custody in California state prison; or
- Any form of inmate identification issued by a sheriff’s department, if the inmate is in custody in a local detention facility.
- A passport issued by a foreign government that has been stamped by the U.S. Immigration or Naturalization Service or its
predecessor agency, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service;
- A driver’s license issued by another state or by a Canadian or Mexican public agency authorized to issue drivers’ licenses;
- An identification card issued by another state (this does not include an identification card issued by a Canadian or Mexican
public agency);
- A military identification card (some military identification cards do not contain all the required information and cannot be
used as identification if all required information is not present); or
- An employee identification card issued by an agency or office of a California city, a California county, a California city and
county, or the State of California.

Note: I am not a licensed California Attorney, Lawyer or an Immigration Officer. State law prohibits me to give legal advice about
immigration or any other legal matters. As a Notary Public I cannot complete form for you and neither can I take an
acknowledgment on a document that is incomplete.
