What is a Passport Custodian?

Not all states let notaries certify copies of passports — but there may still be a way to help. In this video, we explain how the document custodian process works and what notaries should know:

- What “custodian” means in notary practice
- How a passport holder can provide a copy and written statement
- Why some states allow this alternative procedure
- Steps to protect yourself and follow the law

Before you act, always confirm your state’s rules and ensure the passport custodian (or legal guardian) is the one signing the statement.
