I never ask for the borrower to give me a copy of their ID unless they have been instructed before hand by someone else to have it ready. It is not my responsibility; that falls on the lender, TC or SS to instruct them to get a copy of it. Help me to understand this; I see this as a privacy issue. Giving someone a copy of my ID makes me very nervous. Who knows who will have access to it and whose hands it will end up in? In Montana for the longest time your ID number was your social security number. Maybe I am just paranoid but the less information people have of me the less I feel I am going to be subject to identity theft.
