What types of documents can be used for the bank to comply with the Patriot Act? I was recently denied my home loan because my photolicensce was not the same as the current addressI have. I asked for a list of acceptable documents, butnever got it. by kcatt2009 from Cape Coral, Florida. Nov 18th 2009
There is no specific list of documents that are acceptable. The act requires lenders to verify the identity and nationality of all applicants through a government issued, non-expired identification form evidencing nationality and/or a photograph or similar safeguard which cannot be copied. If your photo ID does not have the correct address it cannot be accepted as verification by the lender. If you can produce an alternate document with the correct address it should be acceptable.
You will want to make sure that you have a valid state id, drivers license or passport and update your drivers license and/or state id with your correct home address to comply for the bank.
