You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
You would need to ask that of an attorney in Puerto Rico. Frankly speaking, it would not suffice in Florida as a government issued picture identification is generally required for any notarization of legal documents in a real estate transaction. I would imagine they would want the same to prove your identification.
