In PA we can use ANY government issued id (with or without photo) to notarize. A marriage license is not acceptable. That said - I would not notarize off of just a Social Security card (although I could)...I would require the drivers license and a tax return or marriage license to tie it together with the social security card - so that I know the social security card is valid. Although, we do not have to do this! (I just choose to). Credible witnesses are useless in PA as the person has to be known by BOTH the notary and the person being acknowledged. So, PA notary law does not require that we KNOW the person has not provided a false SS card or other government issue ID, but good judgment requires that we can tie it all together. |
