Okay, first - I should have know better. I received a call at 12:30pm for a Spanish same day signing at 6:30pm in the Broker Office (in Dallas,TX).

I went along with my trainee SP notary to answer questions about how to fill out the docs.

I look at the husband's drivers license and his name (chgd) is listed as Juan Julio Valdez; and his Permanent Resident Card shows him as Juan Julio Fernando Valdez. The docs show him listed as Fernando Valdez.

I called the SS and they tell me to have them sign docs as they appeared on the DL and get a photocopy of the ID's during the signing. There was also an AKA page which showed all of the possible spellings of the borrowers' names.

The wife's drivers license is listed Marina Petrova Valdez and the docs show her as Marina Valdez.

The husband signed all documents as Juan Julio Fernando Valdez and he used all 4 initials on all docs where required.

The wife signed her name as Marina P. Valdez on all docs.

Will these docs record properly?

Frankly, I think it will depend on what office is recording the docs. You will get a solid answer if you call the county clerk where it will be recorded.

I think I wouldn't have signed as well. But please keep us posted with the results. It's real tricky with names that are so different than the ID's, but as long as the names are in the ID's you are good to go. Since all names werenot in the DL, I think that maybe you sould have alerted the SS first and then had them correct the pages with the corrected name...if that would even be possible. Good luck and please keep us posted with the results. Thanks.

Update - Borrowers names were changed

Well, I work at a title office and was told by recording I should be all right.

I got a phone call back the next day asking if I would go back and resign the docs. I could not go, as I work full time during the day and they wanted me to go at 2pm.

I do plan to be a full time agent in March and the SS told me if this signing went well, they would give me anywhere from 30-35 closing per month. I was very anxious about this signing and was dissapointed it went so badly. 2 1/2 hr closing, 9.80% with a 11.80 Libor FR change in 2yrs, Wow!!

The local notary they normally use is moving and I am still hopeful they will continue to use me for their signings. We shall see. I definitely learned something from this.

The former curative manager at my title office said I could have had him sign as Fernando Valdez aka: Juan Julio Valdez and in future I will take her advice.

Thanks to everyone for their helpful replies, it helped me feel better about the situation. I chose to call the man Juan Valdez, after dreaming of drinking some coffee and a burro at 2am while I posted!
