How can a notary identify a minor if no acceptable ID is presented?

Oat or Affirmation of a credible identifying witness
Notary's personal knowledge
Parental consent
Court approval

The correct answer is: Oat or Affirmation of a credible identifying witness

In the scenario where a minor is unable to present an acceptable ID, a notary can still identify the minor by utilizing an Oat or Affirmation of a credible identifying witness. This process involves having a credible witness swear or affirm to the notary that they personally know the minor and can vouch for their identity. This method provides a reliable way for the notary to verify the minor's identity in the absence of a traditional form of identification. The other options are incorrect because: - Notary's personal knowledge may not always be sufficient or reliable in identifying a minor, especially in cases where the notary does not have a close relationship with the minor. - Parental consent is not a direct method of identifying a minor and does not provide concrete proof of the minor's identity. - Court approval is not typically required for the identification of a minor in notarial acts and is not a standard practice for this purpose.
