-
Possibly. Indiana notary requirements allow identity to be established through permitted methods depending on the circumstances. An expired ID or lack of acceptable photo identification does not automatically mean service can or cannot be performed.
Please disclose the identification issue before scheduling so the circumstances and any potentially available identification method can be reviewed. Final determination is made by the notary at the appointment.

-
No. A document witness participates in the signing of a document when a witness is required.

With notarial copy certification, the notary performs the copy-certification notarial act when permitted for the document.
