It seems to me there are two questions:
1. Which are family names and which are given names on the ID? You may know this from experience if you have dealt with the type of ID presented in the past. Or, you may know from experience what names are usually family names and which are usually given names in the country of interest.
2. Which are the family names and which are the given names on the document? In my state, VT, "a notary public may require an individual to provide additional information or identification credentials necessary to assure the notary public of the identity of the individual." So I could require a contact phone number so I could ask whoever prepared the document. Or I could look up tax records. CA law doesn't seem to say if you could do that sort of thing.
