California Notaries

I was just informed by the SOS that the current California Dept of Corrections IDs are not a valid Identification. The reason is the ID does not contain a physical discription of the individual. Currently the Dept of Correction is in the process of issuing different ID cards that complies with this issue. This is for your information. Jay

believe it or not, sometimes the SOS actually has given incorrect information. It seems as if it is all a matter of how the individual interprets it
