Which of the following is an example of an invalid identification document?

  1. Unexpired driver's license

  2. Birth certificate

  3. State-issued ID

  4. Passport card

The correct answer is: Birth certificate

A birth certificate is considered an invalid identification document for the purpose of notarization because it does not serve as a form of identification that verifies an individual's current identity. While a birth certificate can prove a person's date of birth and citizenship, it lacks a photograph and other identifying features that are typically required for authenticating identity in notarial acts. In contrast, items such as an unexpired driver's license, state-issued ID, and passport card contain essential information and a photo that confirm the person’s identity effectively in a professional setting, which is necessary for the notary to perform their duties accurately and responsibly.
