For an identification document to be valid at the time of a notarial act, it must be current and valid. This means that the ID should not be expired and must be recognized as an official form of identification that can verify the identity of the individual presenting it. A current and valid ID provides assurance to the notary that the person is who they claim to be, which is essential in maintaining the integrity of the notarial process.

An ID that is expiring soon would not meet the requirement for being valid at the time of the act, as there is no guarantee of its acceptance beyond the indicated expiration date. Similarly, a previously used identification document does not automatically ensure its current validity; it must be checked for its status on the date of the notarial act. Finally, an expired ID, even if there is a promise or indication of renewal, is not valid for notarial purposes until the renewal process is completed and a new, current identification is issued. Thus, an identification document must be both current and valid to support reliable notarial services.
