Under the Alabama Title Insurance Act, who must print or write their name and license number beneath their signature on title documents?

The requirement for a title insurance agent to print or write their name and license number beneath their signature on title documents is rooted in the need for transparency and accountability within the title insurance process. This practice ensures that all parties involved can clearly identify who is responsible for the issuance of the title insurance policy or related documents.

By having the title insurance agent include their name and license number, it provides a straightforward method to verify their credentials and professional standing. This is especially important in the real estate transaction process, where clarity around the parties involved can protect the interests of the insured and maintain trust in the process. In contrast, other individuals such as the owner insured, lender insured, or title examiner do not have the same regulatory requirement under the Alabama Title Insurance Act, as they are not the primary providers of the title insurance coverage.

This distinction helps maintain the integrity of the title insurance industry and ensures that the licensed professionals are held accountable for their work and adherence to state regulations.
