You'll need to provide detailed personal information including your legal name, birth date, address, and ID documents (think passports or driver’s licenses).

One way to minimize the risk is by requesting a copy of their ID, like a driver's license or passport, before finalizing the lease.

Fewer than half even own passports!

Around 1% of the total lenders allow e-notary for closing IF you have current US driver's license and passport and the e-notary has fingerprinting capacity which most do not...

If so, Ask them to get a copy of the bank statement.Get copies of passport and visa and have them notarized to establish their legal name and status.Ask the propsective tenant if they have relatives or friends who can be added to the lease?

I got talked into giving a copy of my passport once and about shot myself.. it was a big show..
