Hispanic Wife has maiden name on ID, but docs has the...
husbands last name. How do I identify her?
They did a refi in February and the notary used her id with the maiden name.
Does the Name affidavit takes care of the maiden name or should I get 2 credible witnesses?
Thank you all

Follow the notary handbook, it says you can use 2 credible witnesses, not a Name Affidavit.
I her that all the time, "Well the other notary let me use it." Doesn't make it right. You have no way of knowing if they are one and the same person. Protect yourself.

In CA a marraige certificate is not acceptable and and is not to be used in the identification process. She either needs valid acceptable id with pips or you must go with the credible witnesses.
Jps you really need to study your handbook, and keep a copy with you at all times.

I'm curious
What exactly is the purpose of identifying her as "hispanic wife" instead of just "wife"? What does her nationality have to do with anything about your question?

For your information Dr. Cali, hispanics women keep their maiden name most of the time.
Very little amount of married hispanics women change their last name after they get married.

OK, that's nice to know but it still doesn't answer the question as to why you felt the need to identify her race in the post. It's no big deal that you did it, it wasn't done insultingly or anything, I'm just curious as to why you felt it was relevant. There are plenty of white and black women who keep their maiden names too.
And based on my experience, I would disagree with the fact that very few of them change their names, at least here in the US. Most of the hispanic couples I've done signings for share a last name. My Mexican sister in law took our family name.

Re: I'm curious
I've run into several closings where the wife has kept her maiden name or hyphenated the hubby's last name onto hers. Often times, it is a cultural difference, much like some cultures actually use the surname first then the given name.
