Which form of ID is acceptable for notarization but only for airport security?

Real ID
Not Real ID
Credit Card
Passport Card

The correct answer is: Not Real ID

The correct answer indicates a form of ID not compliant with the Real ID Act, which is specifically a requirement for use in federal facilities, including airports. IDs that fall under this category are those which do not meet the stringent federal guidelines that Real IDs do. These forms of identification may still be used in different contexts, such as notarization, but they are not suitable for federal identification purposes like boarding an airplane. The Real ID is compliant with federal standards and is accepted for air travel, while a passport card, though valid for some identification purposes, does not serve the same function at airport security checkpoints as Real ID does. Credit cards are primarily financial instruments and do not typically suffice as identification for notarial acts. Therefore, the focus on a form that is not a Real ID highlights its limited acceptance, particularly in contexts that require stricter verification, like airport security.
