Customer ID Verification

Is this a form that the notary certifies? (since I was the one that verified their ID for the loan docs) This page does not get notarized, but a Certification needs to be signed & titled.
Thanks for any information.

There are many different flavors of the Customer ID Verification form. Some are signed by the borrowers and some are not. Some that the borrowers sign, are notarized, some are not. Those that the borrowers DO NOT sign, cannot be notarized unless your state allows you to "certify information". For those forms that the Signing Agent completes, the Signing Agent certifies that the information is correct. Remember, you wear two hats, and when you are not notarizing a signature, you are wearing your Signing Agent hat. Again, depending on your state statutes, you may or may not be able to identify yourself as a Notary Public when signing the AIV form that is not notarized. In Florida, you can use that title only in an official capacity, and being a Signing Agent is not an official capacity for a Florida notary public.

CA is basically the same as FL in regards to this particular matter.

I'm in Illinois, but most of the Lenders are in California. I find that most of the ID verification forms need signed by me as the notary that I verified their driver license and so forth. It's something we're supposed to do anyway, hence the point of getting a notary to verify their signature and ID - It's just one more form, but heck when theres already 38294 forms whats one more! lol
