Read the first 7 Identifying Document Signers flashcards as text

  1. A signer appears before a Nebraska notary and presents a valid ID, but the notary suspects it may be altered or counterfeit. What should the notary do?

    Answer: Refuse to notarize and explain the concern to the signer

    If the notary has genuine doubt about an ID's authenticity, they should decline to notarize; a notary is not obligated to accept questionable identification.

  2. A signer presents a permanent resident card (Green Card) as identification. Should a Nebraska notary accept this?

    Answer: Yes, a current Green Card is a government-issued photo ID and is acceptable

    A valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) issued by USCIS is an acceptable government-issued photo ID for notarization purposes.

  3. The photo on a signer's ID is 15 years old and the signer's appearance has changed significantly. What should the Nebraska notary consider?

    Answer: Whether the notary can still reasonably identify the signer as the person in the photo

    The notary must use reasonable judgment to determine whether the photo still satisfactorily identifies the signer despite appearance changes.

  4. A signer has a legal name change and presents an ID with their old name alongside a court order showing the new name. How should the Nebraska notary proceed?

    Answer: Review both documents and use judgment; document the discrepancy in the journal

    The notary may accept the combination of the old ID and court order as satisfactory evidence of identity and should note the discrepancy in the notary journal.

  5. Which feature of a government-issued ID is most critical for it to serve as satisfactory evidence of identity for a Nebraska notarization?

    Answer: A photograph of the bearer

    The photograph is the most critical feature because it allows the notary to visually confirm the person presenting the ID matches the ID holder.

  6. A signer presents two forms of identification, neither of which has a photo. Should the Nebraska notary accept these?

    Answer: Generally no; at least one form of ID should contain a photograph

    Nebraska notaries generally require at least one form of ID with a photograph to visually confirm the signer's identity.

  7. A signer is visually impaired and cannot see the notary. Does this affect the identification process in Nebraska?

    Answer: No; the notary still examines the ID and visually confirms the signer's identity

    The signer's visual impairment does not affect the notary's ability to examine the ID and confirm the signer's identity; the notary does the visual verification.
