  1. What is the primary method of identifying a signer in New Hampshire notarizations?

    Answer: Government-issued photo identification

    Government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or passport is the standard primary method for verifying a signer's identity.

  2. Which of the following is an acceptable form of identification for a NH notarization?

    Answer: A U.S. passport

    A U.S. passport is a government-issued photo ID and is widely accepted for notarial identity verification.

  3. Can a NH notary use personal knowledge of the signer as a basis for identification?

    Answer: Yes, if the notary personally knows the individual

    Personal knowledge—where the notary knows the signer from prior interaction—is a recognized basis for identification in New Hampshire.

  4. What is a 'credible witness' in the context of NH notary identification?

    Answer: A person who vouches for the identity of a signer who cannot produce ID

    A credible witness is someone personally known to both the notary and the signer who can attest to the signer's identity when documentary ID is unavailable.

  5. If a signer's photo ID is expired, should a NH notary accept it for identification?

    Answer: Generally no, ID should be current and not expired

    Expired identification is generally not acceptable because it cannot be reliably confirmed as valid, though notaries may use judgment for recently expired IDs.

  6. How many credible witnesses may be required when using the credible witness method in NH?

    Answer: One if the witness is personally known to the notary; two if neither is personally known to the notary

    If one credible witness is personally known to the notary, one witness may suffice; some jurisdictions require two if the notary does not know the witness.
