Acceptable Identification

To protect all parties and comply with Kansas law, all signers must present valid, acceptable identification before a notarization can be performed.

Acceptable Forms of Identification

Examples of government-issued photo identification include:

• State-issued Driver's License

• State-issued Identification Card

• U.S. Passport or Passport Card

• Military Identification Card

• Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)

• Other government-issued photo identification that is current or otherwise acceptable under Kansas law

Identification Requirements

Identification should:

Be issued by a government agency.

Include a photograph of the signer.

Contain a signature or other identifying information.

Reasonably identify the individual appearing before the notary.

Please Note

The notary must be able to reasonably identify the signer before performing any notarial act.

If acceptable identification cannot be presented, or if the notary cannot verify the signer's identity, the notarization cannot be completed.
