Which form of county identification is listed as acceptable for notary applicants (excluding Code 45-17-7 provisions)?

• A. GA driver's license
• B. U.S passport
• C. voter identification card
• D. valid identification by local or state government or by U.S gov.

Answer: (A)

Notaries verify an applicant’s identity using government-issued identification that includes a photo. Among common forms, a Georgia driver’s license is a standard state-issued ID that notaries in Georgia are taught to recognize as acceptable. It provides the key proof elements—the person’s name, photo, and expiration date—from a government authority, making identity verification straightforward and reliable. Because the question focuses on a county/state-issued form of ID, the Georgia driver’s license is the most representative example, which is why it fits best. While other forms like a U.S. passport are also valid IDs in many contexts, the driver’s license is the typical county/state identification cited for Georgia notary applicants.
