Yes, I've made it my routine to enter the name as it appears on the ID that I am presented with, along with the other mandatory information, and some not mandatory information. I do, however, request that they sign my journal the way they are signing the document I'm notarizing, as that's the signature I'm notarizing.

: Dan, we agree with you. Kelly and I
: feel the same way.
:
: However, the handbook states that the
: signer has to present ID, states what
: type of ID is acceptable. But what it
: doesn't say is how the Notary is to
: compare the name on the ID to the name
: that is going to be signed. If you
: call the SOS (I'd never call the NNA
: since they aren't going to defend me
: and has been know to given out WRONG
: info), the SOS will only refer you
: back to that ID section of the
: handbook.
:
: Therefore, while you, Kelly and I
: know, and wouldn't do it any other
: way, that the name on the id should at
: least MATCH what they are signing
: before we'd even accept the ID that is
: presented. Other notaries believe
: that if the ID has one name that
: matches, that has satisfied them, and
: they'll notarize the document.
:
: The issue is that the notary has to be
: satisfied. You, Kelly and I wouldn't
: be, but there are those out there who
: would be. I know, within the last 4
: mos, I lost two signings because the
: borrower informed me prior to the
: signing that the name on their ID does
: not match what's on the docs. I was
: informed that the lender would be
: sending a notary who would notarize
: the documents. One case was docs
: showed the suffix "Jr."
: borrower stated none showed on his ID.
: The other the docs were printed
: middle-first last name. The borrower
: told me that he'd contacted the lender
: when he got the initial docs and
: advised them of the error. It wasn't
: corrected, all he said that showed on
: his id was First Last Name. I refused
: to notarize the docs, but they sent
: someone who possibly did.
:
: As I said, the notaries who do this
: are those that either are employees,
: or only do work for these companies
: and believe the line of bull that they
: are "covered" under the
: company's insurance. Once they are
: sued, for illegally notarizing a
: document, the company will drop them
: like a hot potatoe, because they'll
: say that they notary employee should
: have followed the law and should have
: known what the law was, so therefore
: is exempt from the company
: "covering" them.
:
: It's very frustrating!
