Re: Passport card as ID?
Posted by Calnotary of CA on 4/9/21 10:09pm Msg #631117
In my opinion Passport cards are an acceptable form of ID in CA. A book passport does not contain physical description and still considered an acceptable form of id.

"Satisfactory Evidence – “Satisfactory Evidence” means the absence of any information,
evidence, or other circumstances which would lead a reasonable person to believe that the
individual is not the individual he or she claims to be and (A) identification documents or (B)
the oath of a single credible witness or (C) the oaths of two credible witnesses under penalty
of perjury, as specified below:
A. Identification Documents – The notary public can establish the identity of the signer
using identification documents as follows (Civil Code section 1185(b)(3) and (4)):
1. There is reasonable reliance on any one of the following forms of identification, provided
it is current or was issued within 5 years:
a. An identification card or driver’s license issued by the California Department of Motor
Vehicles;
b. A United States passport;
c. An inmate identification card issued by the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, if the inmate is in custody in California state prison;
d. Any form of inmate identification issued by a sheriff’s department, if the inmate is in
custody in a local detention facility; or
2. There is reasonable reliance on any one of the following forms of identification, provided
that it also contains a photograph, description of the person, signature of the person, and an
identifying number:
(a) A valid consular identification document issued by a consulate from the applicant’s country
of citizenship, or a valid passport from the applicant’s country of citizenship;
(b) A driver’s license issued by another state or by a Canadian or Mexican public agency
authorized to issue driver’s licenses;
(c) An identification card issued by another state;
(d) A United States military identification card (caution: current military identification cards
might not contain all the required information);
(e) An employee identification card issued by an agency or office of the State of California,
or an agency or office of a city, county, or city and county in California.
(f) An identiification card issued by a federally recognized tribal government.
Note: The notary public must include in his or her journal the type of identifying document, the
governmental agency issuing the document, the serial or identifying number of the document,
and the date of issue or expiration of the document that was used to establish the identity of
the signer. (Government Code section 8206(a)(2)(D))
