New Servicer wants original Note????

[Guillermo Perez Vargas]

Hi,
I'm being forced to change note servicer on my notes since my old servicer will no longer be licensed in the state where I have most of my notes (MI).
The Old servicer recommended West Star in Phoenix, and they seem to be OK.
In the process of transferring the notes, West Star requested I give them the original of the Note! This seems wrong to me. If something happens to that original, how do i show that I'm entitled to the payments? I of course have copies, but copies - even notarized ones - cannot be used to show ownership.
Has anyone in this group heard of servicing requiring the original of documents (CFD, Note, Assignments, etc.)?
