Please I need opinion ASAP

... How big of a problem is if the signer on the doc signs in blue ink (everywhere else the ink is black - joirnal, acknowledgement) ... Should I request new docs today and go back for new signing??? Please for opinions .. I am a newbie!!!

Ask the person that hired you. Sometimes they request that the borrower signers in blue, most are signed in black. If its blue and black now that I don't know.

It's all black, everywhere. I did not receive instructions for the signatures to be in blue, but now it occured to me that the signatures and the initials in the docs must have been in blue (remember from the notary course). Do you usually accept signatures in black???

It's always the small details that bug me that much ... hate it

Did it state a specific color had to be used? If not, I wouldn't worry about it.

Unless they instruct you to have the signing done in blue, then black is the norm.

Not sure what your state law is, but I have never had a problem with blue or black ink. I've had signings where one signed in blue and the other in black. I've even filled out an aknowlegement in black and signed in blue (pen ran out).

That's funny .... and how about if you have to put your stamp multiple times within one doc ... you just make one entry in the journaj for that document, correct!! ?

never had to put my stamp more than once in a single document (unless of course the stamp was messed up in which case I cross it out and stamp again) and NJ does not require journals, so there are no guidelines for that.

I don't know about CA (although I've done many loans originating there) I always have the borrower sign, and inital in blue ink.(it makes it easy for the County Clerk & Recorder to reconize "original signatures") unless I have specific instructions to do otherwise. I've never had one come back.

Do a search on blue and black ink and you will find many posts.
