This is what the NJ Notary manual says: Note: Identification documents are not required if: 1) the signer is personally known to the Notary, or 2) a credible witness, known to both the signer and Notary, swears to the identity of the signer.
This situation is not uncommon in nursing homes etc. I would meet with attorney have him/her show you id. Now that they are known to you have her/ him swear to identity of signer of POA. HOWEVER if the attorney is the one getting the POA i would walk away.
