  1. A signer presents a valid tribal photo ID issued by a federally recognized Native American tribe. Should a Georgia notary accept this?

    Answer: Yes, tribal IDs from federally recognized tribes are generally considered government-issued ID

    Tribal IDs from federally recognized tribes are treated as government-issued identification and may be accepted by Georgia notaries.

  2. A signer's physical appearance has changed dramatically since their ID photo was taken (e.g., weight change, facial hair). What should the Georgia notary do?

    Answer: Use professional judgment and may ask probing questions to satisfy themselves of the signer's identity

    The notary must exercise professional judgment, asking additional questions if needed, to be sufficiently satisfied the signer is the named individual.

  3. In a Georgia remote online notarization (RON), how is signer identity primarily verified?

    Answer: Through credential analysis and knowledge-based authentication (KBA)

    Georgia RON requires credential analysis of the ID and knowledge-based authentication (KBA) questionnaires to verify signer identity remotely.

  4. A signer presents a valid U.S. passport card (not the booklet). Is this acceptable identification for a Georgia notary?

    Answer: Yes, the U.S. passport card is a government-issued photo ID and is acceptable

    The U.S. passport card is a federally issued photo ID that is generally acceptable for identity verification in notarial acts.

  5. A notary in Georgia is presented with an ID that appears tampered with or shows signs of alteration. What is the correct course of action?

    Answer: Refuse the notarization and do not accept the potentially fraudulent ID

    A notary must refuse to notarize when an ID appears altered or fraudulent, as accepting it could make the notary complicit in fraud.

  6. Which of the following scenarios does NOT satisfy the identity verification requirement for a Georgia notarization?

    Answer: The signer presents a signed statement from their employer confirming their identity

    An employer's signed statement is not a recognized method of identity verification under Georgia notary law.

  7. A signer presents a Georgia Department of Driver Services ID card (non-driver ID). Is this valid for notarial identity verification?

    Answer: Yes, a state-issued non-driver photo ID is an acceptable form of identification

    State-issued non-driver photo IDs are government-issued identification documents that are fully acceptable for notarial identity verification.
