Which is NOT a valid identification method for a notary?

Driver's license
Utility bill
Passport
Government-issued ID

The correct answer is: Utility bill

A utility bill is not a valid identification method for a notary because it does not establish the identity of the signer in a formal, legal manner. In notarial practices, identification is crucial, as it ensures that the person signing the document is who they claim to be. Valid methods of identification typically include government-issued documents that contain a photograph and a signature, like a driver's license or a passport, as well as any other official government-issued ID. These forms of identification provide a reliable verification of identity, which is essential to maintain the integrity of the notarization process. In contrast, while a utility bill can provide proof of address, it does not verify a person's identity nor does it carry the necessary legal weight to be recognized as suitable identification for notarial acts.
