Department of Motor Vehicles. Temporary IDs are not acceptable.

S. passport issued by the Department of State of the United States.

Note:
A copy of the signer's identification is sometimes required for
certain documents being notarized -
check with the person who prepared your document to find out if a copy
of your identification is also required.
Can
a notary offer me advice about the content of my document?
In the majority
of cases, the answer is no. Unless a notary is a licensed
attorney, a notary is prohibited from performing any duties that may be
construed as the unlawful practice of law. Should you have
any questions about the document being notarized, we recommend you
contact the originator of the document and seek clarification.
Can
a photograph be notarized?
No - a document
must contain the following requisites to be notarized:
-
Wording
or text committing the signer to the document.
-
Notarial
wording (which determines the type of notarization).
-
An
original signature of the person appearing before the notary.
