Re: ID QUESTION

Hi Viv.

It is not OK to use a marriage certificate. Further, it is not OK to use credible witness as she has current ID...(for details on that statement read the handbook).

Don't ever, ever take the LO's word (at anything...but that's another subject).

Check the handbook for other acceptable forms of ID and see if she has any.

If all of the above fails, you have two choices: Fudge it (as LO suggested, and not kosher with the State) or do what the State commissioned you to do.

If you choose the later, advise her to go get new ID at the DMV. If (and that is a BIG IF for the notary shark attack to come) and IF her physical description, address, and details match her story, with the exception of the last name dilemma, and she shows the attempt at new ID with the DMV..... frankly? I'd do it.

See, you are the notary, and it's YOU that has to be satisfied - within the CA guidelines. A mature notary knows what is okay/not okay for ID. That is why YOU are the authority in the procedure, and the state relies on your judgment.

All the above is intended for mature audiences only. If not mature, ask the handbook/SOS for permission.
