Which of the following is NOT required for an acceptable Identification Card?

• A. Issued by state or federal government.
• B. Must be issued within the last year.
• C. Contains the signer's photograph and signature.
• D. Contains a physical description of the signer.

Answer: (B)

Identity verification for a notarial act hinges on a card that is government-issued, currently valid, and provides reliable identifying details. A valid ID must come from a government source, show the signer’s photograph and signature, and often include a physical description to aid confirmation. The issuance date being within the last year is not required; what matters is that the card is still valid at the time of the act. Therefore, the statement about needing an ID issued within the last year is not a requirement for an acceptable Identification Card.
