Practice question
A principal presents an authenticated PSN without a physical PhilID. The notary rejects identity proof solely because no physical card is produced. Is that categorical reason consistent with R.A. No. 11055?
- No; authenticated PSN and biometrics must be accepted notwithstanding non-presentation of a PhilID.
- Yes, a physical card is indispensable under the statute.
- Yes, electronic identification is always forbidden.
- No, because authentication is never required.
- No, because PhilSys eliminates every other notarial requirement.
