Is a U.S. Passport Card acceptable proof of identity for notarization in New York? I ask because it does not have a signature on it. — C.N., New York
No — and you are correct — The U.S. Passport Card does not contain a signature, and thus, you may not accept it.
Information about identification requirements in other states can be found in our U.S. Notary Reference guide online.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
