Cal. Gov't Code § 8230 — Notaries Public is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
If a notary public executes a jurat and the statement sworn or subscribed to is contained in a document purporting to identify the affiant, and includes the birthdate or age of the person and a purported photograph or finger or thumbprint of the person so swearing or subscribing, the notary public shall require, as a condition to executing the jurat, that the person verify the birthdate or age contained in the statement by showing either:
(a) A certified copy of the person’s birth certificate, or
(b) An identification card or driver’s license issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
For the purposes of preparing for submission of forms required by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, and only for such purposes, a notary public may also accept for identification any documents or declarations acceptable to the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service.
