Notary Republic
Wonder how you prove your identity to a notary? Proof of identity is typically established using a valid drivers license, California ID or passport. Credible witnesses can be used in the rare case that a valid form of identification can't be supplied.
Often call Notary Republic, it is really called a Notary Public. Republic might be a common mistake because the word Republic is a government type term. But it is Notary Public not Notary Republic.
Notary Publics' are regulated by the Secretary of State for each
individual state. Therefore, a notary may only do notaries
physically in the
state in which they are licensed.
To find a notary that did a past notarization, look at the SEAL
(stamp) on the document. Contact the county recorder in the state
of the county that is on the seal.
