What type of identification do I need for Mobile Notary Services?

For most California notarizations, you will need to present current, valid identification that is acceptable under California notary law.

Common acceptable forms of identification include:

• California driver's license or identification card

• Driver's license or identification card issued by another U.S. state

• U.S. passport

• U.S. military identification that contains the required identifying information

• Certain foreign passports, provided they meet California's legal requirements

• Other forms of identification permitted under California notary law

Your identification should be available at the time of your appointment. California law also permits certain forms of identification that have expired within the legally permitted time period.

Important: Acceptable identification can depend on the type of identification presented and the notarial act being performed. If you're unsure whether your ID will be accepted, contact MBV Solutions before your appointment.

What type of identification do I need for Live Scan Fingerprinting?

For California Live Scan fingerprinting, applicants should bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification to their appointment.

Common acceptable primary forms of identification may include:

• California driver's license

• California identification card

• Driver's license issued by another U.S. state

• U.S. passport or passport card
