2nd time to notarize with a person

If you are going back to notarize different documents with the same person, would you consider that person as "personally known", and not have to take ID again?

From _our_ manual ... “Personally known” means having an acquaintance, derived from association with the individual, which establishes the individual’s identity with at least a reasonable certainty.

So, if you are comfortable and reasonably certain that the person in front of you is the person named, then you're good to go.

Again, this is based on FL notary statutes and guidelines.

In CA you have to know them a bit longer than a notarization ago. Check your handbook. But it never hurts to ask. Some of the people at this forum just try to make you feel like it does

Elizabeth,

I went to the same borrower's house three times in four days (through no fault of my own). Did I consider them "personally known"? No, but by the same token I didn't ask for their drivers licenses again, as I already had seem them and had all the relevant information in hand.
