The next discussion that came about this week was about matching the signature of a signer to the ID.

Example "John Marshall Roberts” asks for a document to be notarized. His ID is a driver’s license which has the name of "John Marshall Roberts". His signature on the ID says "JM Roberts". The document is prepared for a "John Marshall Roberts". After verifying the ID and recording the info in their log, the notary asked him to place his signature on the document. He did and it read "JM Roberts". The notary would then NOT accept the signature! And they refused to notarize on the grounds they could not verify identity.

What if the document stated "JM Roberts" to sign? That would not have matched the ID either. Then what???

What in the world is going on? This is his legal signature!!! Anyone else have an opinion? This is what is being taught by some organizations which astound me!!!!

Remember the basic rule......
