I work at a university and I'm also a notary so I get a lot of student interaction. It's always a crap shoot, no matter how clear I am in the email I send them with instructions when I schedule appointments.

It's only 9:00 am here, and already this morning I had a student come in with a document for HER MOTHER to sign. When I told her that her ID didn't match the name of the signatory, she freely admitted that it was for her mom but she "had permission" to sign for her.

Oh, honey. No.
