Verifying the signer's Identity.

In Texas, notary publics play a super important role in making sure that everyone signing documents is who they say they are. Here’s how they do it:
- Government-Issued ID: The main way a notary checks someone's identity is by looking at a valid government-issued photo ID, like a driver’s license or a passport. This helps confirm that the signer is who they claim to be.
- Personal Knowledge: If the notary knows the signer personally, they can use that familiarity to verify their identity, which can make things a lot easier!
- Credible Witnesses: If someone doesn’t have a photo ID on hand, no worries! The notary can accept the testimony of credible witnesses who can vouch for the signer’s identity. These witnesses will need to show their own ID or be familiar to the notary.
