She sent a photo of her pass port.

Gotta update my passport for international....

Your job is your passport to homeownership. 

Or she might ID you and copy your passport and state that the original and the copy match and add a notary seal.A signature medallion guarantee is different and the guarantor has more liability. 

He is saying that the Loan is legit and even provided his Drivers license and passport (still could be fake).

First they want copies of DL, CCs and Passports??

I do not check their passports either…they get paid per finished project. kitchen, bathroom etc. so far the system works out well.Gutted bathroom :Install durock, tiles around bath and on the floor, toilet, medicine cabinet, vanity, connect plumbing and paint = $800 labor for finished bathroom.

I was scared to death that I would forget my passport and not have it on me when pulled over.

Over the last years we were able to save up enough money to now consider the next logical step: Choosing the correct business form as well as thinking of taxation.The specific issue is this: I am a 32 year old German passport holder (working for the German gov as a development aid consultant in Sudan but that's a different story), my best friend is an entrepreneur from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Excuses like the Patriot Act/ Homeland Security holding the money up, or excuses like the traders forgot signatures, or expired passports, all of those lame excuses so you do not get paid.
