To establish identity, the Notary must accept which of the following from the principal?

  1. Letter of recommendation

  2. 2 credible witnesses with IDs who personally know the principal

  3. Social media verification

  4. Once expired ID

The correct answer is: 2 credible witnesses with IDs who personally know the principal

A letter of recommendation is not considered a valid form of identification. Social media verification does not provide enough security and can be easily falsified. Accepting an expired ID goes against Notary policies and procedures. The Notary must rely on current and valid forms of identification, therefore B is the only correct option.
