Filling Out Patriot Act Form for POA
I had a situation where the Title company wanted me to fill out the Patriot Act form for a AIF incorrectly. Here's what happened, they asked me to ask the AIF to give her husband DL to me, then I was suppose to fill out his form with his information, then sign it. I replied with info below. They haven't got back with me, and it over 4 days. Not sure if SS will pay me for this order even though I completed the whole order. I put the AIF info on the POA form with her DL, not his because he was not their, but they did want that ... what do you think and what would you have done in this situation? I may just have to consider this payment a lost. It would be illegal for me to put John Doe's (fake name) driver's license information on the form because I did not see him face to face, so I can only put the information for the POA. Here is legal information that are passed on previously, and I will give it to you again. I will not sign the Patriot act forum with John Does information on it because he was not there. [Google: NNA] When filling out a USA PATRIOT Act Customer Identification Program (CIP) form for someone acting under a Power of Attorney (POA), the notary or signing agent should record the identifying details of the Attorney-in-Fact (the person signing), not the principal. Follow these steps to ensure the form is filled out correctly: Name: Write the name of the Attorney-in-Fact, followed by their representative capacity (e.g., "John Doe, Attorney-in-Fact for Jane Doe").Identification: Record the government-issued photo ID (e.g., Driver's License or Passport) belonging to the Attorney-in-Fact. Fill in the ID number, issue date, expiration date, and issuing state as required by the form. Personal Details: Provide the Date of Birth, residential address, and Social Security Number of the Attorney-in-Fact. Your Title: When signing or filling out your own title on the Patriot Act form...

@Marsha Wier Thank you Marsha for taking the time to respond. I normally do the same thing, so I was kind of a surprised that the title company took over 3 days to get this settled, and I would have never found out until I asked the Signing Service (SS). By the way, the SS did not take a stand to defend me, they only kept sending me emails with titles requirements for me to do what they instructed. They should have had a backbone to defend their notary My question now is, what percentage of SS will back up their notaries when the clients that hire them are wrong? Some SS are afraid to loss a client and will "through a notary under the bus", even if the notary is right.

I found the "Integrity Notary Journal: A Single-Signing-View Logbook of Notarial Acts" the best, it has everything you need, plus it protects other signer info from be exposed to other signers. You can find it on Amazon.com: Integrity Notary Journal: A Single-Signing-View Logbook of Notarial Acts
