I agree with you Sam in as far as CA goes. ID must have PIPS, Photo, ID#, Physical Description, and Signature. The CA handbook lists the proper types of ID's and SS isn't one of them. In CA notaries only recognize the name that is proven to valid for identification which appears on the ID card. It would be ok if the package included a Name Affidavit containing both names on it. So then the signatures would go as follows: ID says Linda Hall, docs say Linda Jones
1. On the doc, Linda Hall AKA Linda Jones
2. On the notarial certificate, how name appears on ID
3. In journal, how name appears on ID
However it is up to the receiving agency whether an AKA signature is acceptable. I would still call and ask if they want the doc signed with an AKA. Then again some lenders may want you to have the borrower cross out thier name and write the correct one then initial, then other lenders don't. Let the lender decide how they want the docs done and do the certs and journal in the name which appears on the ID. |
