I got a letter of recomendation about 2 years ago from a good employer. Can I still use it now since I am looking again for another job or will this look bad seeing it is so old?

Yes, you can still use it. Can you get one from a more current employer as well? That would then show a pattern of good work. Perhaps you can ask for one or if you're still employed by the same company for the past 2 years, that will cover it.

A letter of reference from two years ago is fine, it would hardly be considered old, particularly if you have not worked for those two years. If you were employed after that, make sure you have contact information for your last employer as well as the letter of reference from the previous employer.

I don't believe it hurts to add it to your resume. However, I would suggest that you simply put a little blurb at the end of your resume saying "References available upon request". Then, give them the letter only if they ask for it.
Lastly, it is also a good idea to ask your last employer for a letter of recommendation as well, if they are willing to give it.
Hope this helps.

you can use it. most employers look at past employment for a period of 5 years.

you do not could desire to notarize the letter. you are able to tell the potential enterprise you have letters of reference,yet they oftentimes in basic terms ask for them in the event that they're heavily thinking to hire you. oftentimes this could be after a minimum of a widespread interview.. Then what oftentimes takes place is they ask for a sprint # to confirm the reference.

It's fine. It was timely as of the time you left the position, and their opinion of you isn't likely to have changed since you have been gone.
