Question #39

According to best practice when dealing with documents, what is the recommended action for a Justice of the Peace to take to identify a client?

1. Refuse to administer the document if the client does not possess a current, unexpired form of photo identification. 
2. Be reasonably satisfied as to the identity of the signatory, preferably by sighting photo identification, but never refuse service solely because photo identification is absent. 
3. Ask intrusive questions regarding the client’s address and employment to verify their occupation.
4. Only accept New Zealand driver licenses or passports as valid forms of identification.
