Not being a lawyer, I can only offer my general opinions about names and signatures, not advice for your particular situation.
Unless a law or binding rule makes a different requirement for some narrow situation, a singer may make any old mark on a paper to serve as a signature, as long as the signer intends to execute the instrument. Jane S. Doe, Jane Susan Doe, and a simple sketch of a doe are all equally valid.
As for the acknowledgement certificate, in my opinion, it should be as the signer is described in the instrument; if the signer's name is computer-printed in the instrument as Jane S. Doe, that's what should go in the acknowledgement certificate. Others on this board may claim the name from the ID should be faithfully copied into the certificate. They're wrong.
HOWEVER, the entity receiving the certificate may have other ideas. If they don't like what you allowed to happen, they might not pay you, even if you're right and they're wrong. |
