The 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice promulgated by the Supreme Court requires the Notary Public to demand Competent Evidence of Identity from the parties of the documents required to be acknowledged or from the person attesting to the truth of the statements declared in the affidavit.
However, sec. 12 (a). Rule II of the above-mentioned Rules was AMENDED by the latest resolution of the Supreme Court En Banc (A.M.

The cedula also known as Community Tax Certificate is no longer considered as a Competent Evidence of Identity. The identification documents include, but are not limited to:
1. passports,
2. driver’s licenses,
3. Professional Regulations Commission identification cards,
4. National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearances,
5. police clearances,
6. postal IDs,

is this already implemented? Marami na akong pina notarized na documents that only requires the cedula number, date and place issued.. kahit hindi mo dala ang cedula, pwede na.
ReplyDeleteyes, it was implemented after its publication....some of the notaries public are not still aware of this ruling and they usually demand only the number of the I.D. card.
ReplyDeletedo you have any supreme court decided cases to support your claim that a CTC is no longer a competent evidence of identity under the notarial law?
