Signer Identity Verification Agent

Identity checks are the core of a notary's job, and a mistake can void the act or expose the notary to liability. At signing, this agent guides the check step by step. It records the ID type, number, expiry and issuer. For remote notarization, it runs credential analysis and knowledge-based checks through the approved platform. It compares the name on the ID with the document. If names differ, such as a missing middle name, it checks state rules on name variations. If any check fails, it stops and lists the allowed options, such as a credible witness where the state permits one. A failed remote check always stops the session. The notary decides whether identity is satisfied. Edge case: the ID says Robert and the document says Bob, which needs a matching name or a signature as shown on the ID.
