***mandatory as per the California Identity Theft Verification and/or the Patriot Act***
Some of the loans that I have notarized have asked for two types of ID from the borrowers in order to fill out a form 'mandated by the Patriot Act'. They asked for the issuer, date of issuance, date of expiration, etc. The Title Co. &/or loan officer did not ask for copies of the ID - just that the form be completed.
There is nothing in the CA notary handbook that says we need two types of ID, let alone copies of them.
Welcome to the site - you may want to read post 33325 dated 04/22 if you are a new notary/Signing Agent. Good Luck! |
