Expired Driver license question for Colo....

Had a closing scheduled for last Friday, the borrowers backed out. SS called yesterday to reschedule with same borrowers. I am printing off docs now and I still had a copy of their drivers license from before. Since the signing never happened last Friday I didn't register the license. I was reviewing it now and noticed that the wife's license is expired. I called the borrowers and brought this to their attention. The husband said his wife had gone to get her license renewed and they gave her a slip of paper and said her license would be in the mail. I asked them to make a copy of the paper for me to send along with her expired license. zWill this be sufficient?

You will have to read your state notary handbook to see what is required for ID. Some states it must be current gov issued ID, some it must be expired less than 5 years, some don't even define - MD say "to the satisfaction of the notary"

Here is what the handbook states...

Acceptable identification includes a current identification card or document issued by a federal or state government entity containing a photograph and signature of the signer. The notary may also accept a sworn statement of a credible witness who is personally known to the notary and who states that he or she knows the signer.

I've called the SOS on this before. The piece of paper does make the DL's current and a valid form of id. I've had to come back to a signing after the borrower went to the DMV to get this extension.
