If you accept foreign passports as a California notary public, the passport needs to have a
photograph, physical description, signature, and an identifying number.
Most (all) passports have a photograph, and a long 10 digit serial number. However, what about a physical description and signature? I never paid attention to this. Do most foreign passports have this? It is necessary for notarization since you need to compare signatures.
Additionally, the passport needs to be / have been stamped by the US immigration and naturalization service, or US citizenship and immigration services.
