If you’re the seller of the property, the notary Republic is going to ask for a driver’s license or a government issued photo identification, that’s usually a driver’s license. You can use a passport or a Florida ID card as far as that’s concerned, or any other government issued a identification card that has your picture on it.Sometimes a lender will ask for a secondary or two forms of identification. The second form I can take, can be a voter registration card, a social security card. I’ve used credit cards, with your name, or you even utility bills, which show your address and your name. So, that is what you need to bring. If you’re the buyer and you don’t need to have your signature notarized, you may not need to bring any identification.
