W9 question

Okay so I am new at this and feel dumb. I just got my first signing and the company sent me a W9 with other instructions and borrower info to confirm. After filling out the W9 should I fax it back to them or wait until after the job is done. She did not specify when she called so I guess I'm not sure and don't really want to call and ask.

Thanks!!

Fax it back after you fill it out. Probably doesn't matter if before or after signing, but they have their own protocol, and they do need this to enter you in their database for pay puropes.

Doesn't matter much when you send a W9 in, whether before, with or shortly after the closing. If it isn't in their files, your check will be delayed and you probably won't go into their database for future signings.

This is the kind of question I don't mind answering from a beginner. It is not something that a neophyte should necessarily know from reading an SOS notary manual or from a signing agent certification course.
