Identifying the Signer

Utah's rules for verifying identity by personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence, and the conditions for using a credible witness.

Personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence

A Utah notary may rely on actually knowing the signer or on satisfactory evidence of identity.

Acceptable identification

When relying on a document, it must have the features that make it trustworthy.

Credible witnesses and refusal

A credible witness is a backup path, but comes with strict conditions, and doubt requires refusal.
