7. Credible person/credible witness:  If a notary does not know the signer personally and the signer does not have a valid ID, the notary can use a credible person to identify the signer.  A credible person must always be someone who knows the signer personally (also referred to as a credible witness [ARS 41-311(11)(A)(vii) and (viii)])   There are two types of credible persons:

        a.  Someone whom the notary knows and who also knows the signer.  Satisfactory evidence of identity of the credible person is

          personal knowledge.  The credible person is placed under oath to swear or affirm that the signer has the identity claimed.

        b.  Someone whom the notary does not know personally but who personally knows the signer.  The credible person must

          present the notary with an ID card that meets one of the above requirements.
