  1. Which document is considered acceptable identification for a Florida notarization?

    Answer: A Florida driver's license

    A Florida driver's license is a government-issued photo ID and is explicitly listed as acceptable identification under Florida notary law.

  2. Under Florida law, 'satisfactory evidence of identity' can be established by which alternative when no ID is available?

    Answer: A credible witness personally known to the notary who vouches for the signer

    Florida allows a credible witness who is personally known to the notary (and swears under oath to the signer's identity) to serve as satisfactory evidence of identity.

  3. A U.S. passport presented for a Florida notarization that expired 6 months ago — is it acceptable?

    Answer: No, the ID must be currently valid and not expired

    Florida requires identification to be currently valid; an expired document does not constitute satisfactory evidence of identity.

  4. What is required of identification used for a Florida notarization?

    Answer: It must contain the signer's photo, signature, and serial number, and be issued by a government entity

    Florida requires acceptable ID to be government-issued and to contain the signer's photo, signature, and a serial number or other identifying number.

  5. Can a Florida notary accept a foreign passport as identification?

    Answer: Yes, if it is currently valid and contains a photo, signature, and identifying number

    Florida law accepts foreign passports as satisfactory identification as long as they are currently valid and contain the required photo, signature, and identifying number.

  6. Under Florida law, can personal knowledge of the signer substitute for documentary identification?

    Answer: Yes, if the notary personally knows the signer, that constitutes satisfactory evidence of identity

    Florida law allows the notary's own personal knowledge of the signer to serve as satisfactory evidence of identity without requiring documentary ID.
