If somebody lacks ID, then of course you can refuse because it isn't a lawful request...in that they aren't producing satisfactory evidence of their identity. There are plenty of times we can refuse...
The law says that, absent any other form of acceptable ID, the signer can utilize the CW option. It is perfectly lawful for them to do so. And, according to the education materials, this situation is acceptable. This is what I'm getting at... many of us feel differently, but their official literature says otherwise, and the LAW only says that the witness has to reasonably believe the "very difficult or impossible" bit.... not the notary.
