Sorry to be harsh. California Secretary of State says for Credible witnesses to be used they swear it's difficult or impossible for the person to get ID. Using credible witnesses in this scenario makes it hard on notaries who follow the rules. The borrower knew or should have known they needed a Valid photo ID, but Just couldn't be bothered to go into DMV and get it. Just like people who want an incomplete document notarized by saying "the other notary didn't have a problem moralizing incomplete documents" |
