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.
