Drip, drip, drip .. another Lib/ChicagoWay financial extraction ruse. What's it about ... illegal financial gains when drug runners and criminals sell their homes or just more 1984 ? Unreal.
~~PING!
You have to give your fingerprint for a driver’s license, a job, and now to sell a house but absolutely no ID to vote (or become POTUS).
In COOK COUNTY, where you can’t even own a GUN! LOL.
In California, any signature notarized on a document which purports to transfer or even affect title on real property requires a thumbprint. There is no extra charge for the thumbprint which the notary takes for his or her journal. I have not heard of people objecting to the principle of taking prints.
I’d love to see an anti-Demonrat revolution begin in Illinois. Wouldn’t that be rich?
another way to get people into their system to id....
Great point!!
Besides more fees, what’s really behind it ?
I don’t recall ever doing this for any document or transaction. What’s the real purpose here? Sounds like an assault on property ownership.
In California the fingerprint is not subject to more fees. The cost of a notarized signature is $10 per signature, with or without a fingerprint required. The purpose, among others, is to help avoid fraud where the usual identity might not be enough to prevent it, for example, John Smith Jr. may be trying to sell John Smith Sr.’s property.
Cain has been notarizing documents for more than a quarter century, but he says unless the fingerprint rule is revoked, he plans to get out of the business.
“I would probably just quit; liability for me is too much,” Cain said.
Sounds like Mr. Cain is just worried about getting caught falsely notarizing documents -
But that wouldn't go on in Cook County, would it? /s
Might well be his concern. A notary can be liable for not taking a fingerprint when it is required but I don’t see that a notary would be liable if the person turned out not to be the one supposedly with the right to sell the property. My example earlier of Junior selling Senior’s property is a clear situation where one can present valid identification as John Smith and point to his name on the deed and the notary has no reason to know the Junior/Senior situation, the notary has not been negligent and cannot be held liable. The fingerprint is a piece of evidence which can be used to track down frauds but it doesn’t necessarily prevent the fraud in the first place.

Absolutely .. hope it happens.
You have to give a thumbprint to take the Law SAT.
“You have to give your fingerprint for a drivers license, a job, and now to sell a house but absolutely no ID to vote (or become POTUS).”
So true, so true. Hell, you don’t even have to prove citizenship to be president. How much more BS will people take before they have had enough?
In Texas, real estate agents, as of last year, have to get a full set of fingerprints to get or renew their licenses. I don’t know why the legislators voted this in. I suspect some of the demos own fingerprinting companies or equipment distributors but that is the only reason I can come up with.
It’s a great way for the government to get fingerprint samples from everyone. Just for their own protection, you know. It would never be used for any nefarious purpose by the government.
“Oh, and while you are at it, could you give a DNA sample as well. It’s for your own good.”
Democrat priorities....that ID for votes would sure mess up their plans, considering the loss of illegals, felons, dead people, double and triple votes from students in more than one state, etc.
