What to Do if Your ID is Expired

2026-06-25
By Expedited Mobile Notary Team

A notary's primary job is verifying identity. If your driver's license or passport is expired, you might think you cannot get a document notarized. Fortunately, Florida law provides an alternative.

The Credible Witness

If you lack a valid ID, you can use two credible witnesses to swear to your identity. These witnesses must personally know you, must have their own valid government IDs, and must be completely impartial to the document being signed.

Strict Requirements

Using credible witnesses is highly regulated. The witnesses must swear an oath under penalty of perjury. It is always best to renew your ID if possible, but credible witnesses provide a vital fallback for emergencies.
