Should my Notary journal entry contain the driver’s license number or should I just record the type of ID used to identify the person? — S.T., South Carolina
The South Carolina Notary Public Reference Manual provides direction for entering this information: “The manner in which the signer was identified.” Simply entering a description such as: “Personally known to me”, or “SC Driver’s License”, “Mexico Passport” or “oath of credible witness”, may be sufficient.
