Signing in OR jail

Help please... Has anyone had any signings in Oregon jails? I have one next week. The inmate ID just has a picture, name and booking number. Is this acceptable ID?

Re: Signing in OR jail...from your handbook

"If a person is confined in a correctional facility and needs to have documents notarized, identification used to identify the person incarcerated shall be that which is used in the facility to positively identify through examination or comparison of official government documents or records."

See your handbook, page 24. That, and everything else an Oregon notary needs to know to be an Oregon notary is in there.

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure I could accept an ID with picture and name only and see if others were accepting inmate IDs as well.

BTW... not to beat a dead horse...

but ... the Oregon handbook actually has a diagram on how to enter multiple notarized docs for one signer, which includes ditto marks, diagonal lines, abbreviations and one signature, sure to cause dizzying apoplexy among many CA notaries *and* probably the CA SOS office, too. It's an amazing thing to see. It's the kind of stuff that if a CA notary did they'd find themselves in handcuffs (according to some).

In any case, the OR handbook is truly a user friendly document! It's far far more helpful than California's. It also includes many other diagrams on how to fill out a journal under varying circumstances. Wonder why CA SOS can't be bothered to do the same thing in our handbook? Certainly would be extremely helpful to all CA notaries. Mostly the CA SOS office just likes to whine, as far as I can tell, dream up idiotic questions for the test and fatten its bottom line off fees from tens of thousands of notary applications. But that's just MO.
