Here at Boston Mobile Notary Service, we take our responsibility to properly verify identities very seriously. As the most trusted mobile notary public company serving clients throughout greater Boston and all of Massachusetts, ensuring the security of notarized documents is our top priority.
The Massachusetts notary laws specify which forms of identification we can accept when notarizing signatures. The primary options include unexpired driver's licenses with a photo and signature, state-issued ID cards like a Massachusetts ID, and passports from the United States or other countries.
If the primary ID is missing a signature or the signature does not match what is provided for notarization, we will request to review a secondary form of ID for further evidence. Supplemental options include social security cards with the signature, birth certificates, military IDs with a photo, or employee photo badges. At least one form presented must be a government-issued photo ID.
At Boston Mobile Notary Service, our notaries are extensively trained to carefully inspect every aspect of the identification, checking expiration dates, photos, names, and signatures. We will refuse any notarization if the ID is questionable, incomplete, or does not clearly match the signer. This strict verification process ensures the authenticity and security of the notarized documents our clients rely on.
As the premier mobile notary company in Massachusetts, we take our commitment to following notary guidelines very seriously. Please contact us to discuss your notarization needs. Our professional notaries can serve anywhere in greater Boston or statewide to properly verify IDs and notarize your important documents.
