2 Drivers licenes, two names.
A 1st for me in 13 yrs of as a NSA.
One drivers license from Texas with her "domestic partner's (male) last name and a 2nd from California with her former marriage last name. Both VALID. I know that in Texas it is not legal to have two driver's license, especilly in differrnt names.
The California real s estate broker says that all right and to enclose cpoy of both license in the return package. By the way thier is only one document with her California name on it, "Certification of Trustees
Under Trust".
The California property is the primary residence, but nowhere is it invested in both of thier names. He signed "Interspousal Tranfer Grant Deed". It has paragraph for tax purposes and transfer to spouse in connection with property settlement. It seems like he is the fromer husband and the current domestice partner but he has different names.
I have made the hiring party, a California based SS, aware of this and they did not seem concerned.
So I have done my job.
I'm not looking for answers, I just thought you would like to hear something I thought unusal.
My job as a NSA is done, I I.D. ed the signer and watched them sign and made the hiring party aware of what I thought might be wrong.

Not legal to have 2 DL's in FL either.
They took my Ohio license when I applied for received my FL license when I moved back to FL. You even sign a statement that you have no other DL's from other states, they also want to know what states you previously had licenses in to see if you were suspended or revoked from driving in those states. If the latter is the case then FL won't issue you a license, plus you agree to surrender your current license from the state you are coming from.

Sounds like something that is forced on people...2 DLs with
two different names is practically a necessity if a person owns a property that he/she obtained before a name change...else, they cannot get notary services. No match/no notarization.
I read often that a person should get ID in their current name so that they can convey property. What if the property is in a former name? Are people supposed to spend hundreds of dollars on their wedding days putting properties into new names? I think it is quite amusing that the notary public administrative offices will not address that kind of thing so that notaries feel confident in using a common sense approach to names and real life situations.

Re: If signer has current, valid photo ID you can't use CW's
I called the SOS and they told me that I needed to use CW's to verify maiden name of borrower since she had changed all of her ID's to married name and the property was in her maiden name. She showed me her marriage license which had her maiden name and certified birth certificate that was used on the docs.

That's why we're allowed to use "represented that they took
title as ... "
You got a dummy at the SOS...CW's did not apply if they had valid ID...

Just did what I was told by SOS, everything was recorded with no problems. After her mortgage was recorded she called me and wanted me to notarize a "Quit Claim Deed" for her changing the property into her married name.

I've alway belived that there was not such thing as incompetent people just people in the wrong jobs. I think that woman at the SOS is just such a case. Not wanting to lock horns with the "sleeping tiger" that being desktopfull, I tell you this here. Coward that I am.
Have a great weekend.

I agree with you "I've alway belived that there was not such thing as incompetent people just people in the wrong jobs. I think that woman at the SOS is just such a case." I had never run into that situation before and called to find out how it should be handled. I thought that a Quit Claim changing the vestment on the deed first would have been the proper way to handle this. Fortunately, the loan closed okay and now is in her married name. This happened in 2004.

In Florida, I had a buyer who had a Florida DL with a Dallas Texas address on it. He was an investment buyer that needed a Florida License, but he lived in TX. Crazy things happen. I guess always an exception, or who you are catching at the DMV on a good day.
