New learning to my Notary knowledge. !!

Recently a signer presented Mexican ID issued by the Mexican consulate. I was not sure whether I can accept the ID issued by Mexican Consulate for notarization. As per Notary Handbook, I can accept  ” Driver license issued by Mexican public agency authorized to issue driver’s license”.  I thought it would be  wise and safe to say “Sorry, I need to check whether I can accept this ID for notarization or not” and rescheduled the appointment for another day.

Later I found out, An ID issued by the Mexican consulate (Matricula Consular card)  is not an acceptable form of identification that a California Notary can use when identifying a signer.

I was really saved and  Thank God.. I did not carry out the notarization.
