Zipcode with the last 4 digits

Looking For Advice

I completed a HELOC for a local lender, and one of the documents is verifying the full borrower information, which I need to make any corrections if he information doesn’t match with the ID, most of the time it’s the driver’s license. Today I received a phone call saying I made a mistake because I didn’t correct the last 4 digits driver’s license zipcode, and for the next time I will be suspended for 30 days, not receiving any orders from them.

I was highly surprised, because for years I have been performing signing for this title company with no issues at all. I know it was my mistake, but this is a minor error, but be suspended or 30 days in a future?

Wow, I rarely use the plus four. Bet I do now though.

Do you really care? it only will affect you if you get signings from them on a daily basis…

I myself care. Notary experiences of what could happen let me adjust best practices to error proof my process. Using plus 4 will never be wrong on an address. And if someone out there rejects when plus 4 is missing - I will just adopt the plus 4.

Is the company you’re dealing with, by any chance, Old Republic?

wow I want to say thats petty, but I see it on both sides. I used to work at the post office and even they don’t use the last 4 really anymore . It would be more fair if it was something you were told to be aware of , as this is a new one for me. I’m sorry they dinged you for it . I also appreciate the warning as I will now be doing the last 4

I’ve been direct with Old Republic for years, never been told plus four is required.

I’ve never been told that either. To penalize the notary for that (on the first offense) is really petty. If they’re going to suspend a notary every time something like that happens, they won’t have any left to do their closings.

I have been doing many closings for several Title Companies, and this is the first time was told about it.

I need to clarify this issue. Reviewing my emails, I found wasn’t ORT, about the zipcode, sorry it’s confused me, the 4 digits zipcode was from another title co, ORT asked me that RTC was cut off the bottom of the page when I scanned, but the original was ok with legal size paper. Again, is still something ridiculous about the 4 digits of the zipcodes.

I really apologize for this confusion.

I think you’re lucky. At least for the next 30 days you will not be harassed by them. (We second guess ourselves on whether to work with a company or not)
