Can a notary notarized a document the same day that his commission expire?
If the Notary's appointment was valid at the the time they witnessed the signature, it remains valid even after the Notary's commission expires.HOWEVER, if the Notary's commission was expired at the time they "witnessed" it, it is not a valid notarization.Another PerspectiveAn expired notary may affect the legality of the document. A legal document with an expired notary can be challenged. In some cases, the expired date is a typographical error and an affidavit can be executed by the notary stating the correct expiration date and that their license was in effect at the time of the signing. If possible, you should contact the notary to notarize the document again with a valid expiration date or, if that's not possible, have the document executed again with a valid notary seal.If the document cannot be corrected and its validity is challenged then it is up to a court to determine whether the expired notary seal will invalidate the document. State laws vary. In some states statutory provisions will "cure" a recorded instrument with an expired notary after a certain time period has passed.

Can you deny passport notarization because of expired driver license?
Having a passport trumps any other type of identification, so if they have that, and the signature matches, all is good. An expired license is worthless as ID. Notary laws differ from state to state. Some states allow the usage of expired state-issued identification (such as a drivers license) as proof of identity for having a document notarized, others do not. The notary should be familiar with the laws of the state that he or she is licensed to operate in, so if the notary refuses to accept an expired driver's license as proof of identity, you might ask if that's a personal rule (in which case the notary may be able to recommend a more lenient notary) or a state law (in which case it won't do any good to go to a different notary).
