HONEST HAWAII NOTARIES
Doing what is right, not just what is convenient...
A notary must perform the notary's official duties with integrity, diligence, and
skill. The notary's duty is not confined to the one to whom the notary
directly renders service, but it extends to all persons who may be
affected by the Notary's act.

***IMPORTANT***
The I.D. forms below are NOT acceptable identification for the purpose of notarization in HAWAII.
If you accept these types of I.D. for the purpose of notarization you will have compromised the integrity of the entire
transaction and put yourself and all parties to the transaction at risk, including the risk of losing your commission.
Active Duty Military CAC (Common Access) Cards which is also issued to military contractors or other civilian employees. This I.D. is not acceptable because it doesn't contain the visible required for acceptable I.D.
New form of Green Card / Permanent Resident Card which also no longer has the signature of the holder of the card visible on the card.
U.S. Passport Card which also does not have a signature of the holder of the Passport.
