Which type of identification is definitely not permissible?

A current state driver’s license
A timed-out residential lease
A passport
A properly stamped foreign passport

The correct answer is: A timed-out residential lease

The identification that is definitely not permissible is a timed-out residential lease. A residential lease typically serves as a proof of residence or address but does not verify an individual's identity. To be used for identification purposes, documents must establish both the identity of the person and their legality. A lease, particularly one that is timed-out, lacks the necessary validity and does not serve as an official form of identification that can be relied upon for notarizations. In contrast, a current state driver's license, a passport, and a properly stamped foreign passport all provide legal proof of identity. These documents contain specific personal information and are recognized forms of ID, making them acceptable for notarial acts. This underscores the importance of using valid and current identification methods that are widely acknowledged within the legal framework.
