How long can an Illinois notary accept an expired ID as valid identification?

In Illinois, a notary public should not accept an expired identification as valid identification at all. The law requires that a notary verify the identity of the signers using current and valid forms of identification, which means the ID must be unexpired. Accepting an expired ID could lead to issues of authenticity and legality, undermining the purpose of the notarial duties, which include ensuring that the identity of individuals is confirmed clearly and accurately. Therefore, none of the options indicating a period for accepting an expired ID are correct; expired IDs are not acceptable in any circumstance within the state.
