This week I had a signing for on of the largest lender in the US, I called when one of the signers name didn't agree with the name on documents. She had remarried and had another name. On the document she was Jane Smith, on her ID she was Jane Jones. I called to ask how they wanted me to proceed. Usually the answer would be add an AKA or new documents would need to be printed. Unfortunately the person told me neither of those option would be acceptable, if I was not willing to notarize as is they would find another notary to complete the signing. Well they did, the new notary had Ms Jones do an AKA on the signature line and proceeded to notarize the document. So the notary notarized Jane Smith, a person she didn't ID. In NC this is not acceptable. This has happen other times. for other SS's. I have gone into the County website to verify that yes, the name, not on the ID was notarized.....
One person didn't have a middle name on his ID, but the documents had a middle initial. When I asked, he said he told the DMV he didn't want his middle name on the new drivers license. I left but another notary had no issue with notarizing his name. |
