Multiple Choice

If an acceptable form of ID is not available, which method may Connecticut notary use to verify identity?

Notaries must establish the signer’s identity before proceeding. When an acceptable form of ID isn’t available, Connecticut allows identification through credible witnesses: two people who personally know the signer and can present satisfactory evidence of identity to the notary can identify the signer in front of the notary, affirm to the signer’s identity, and witness the signing. A digital selfie isn’t an acceptable form of ID, and requiring a parent isn’t a recognized method. You should not proceed without identifying the signer.
