ID Verification: Exemption for Suffixes in Names
Please be advised to use only the first and last name as they appear on the ID when completing the contract. Do not include any suffixes in the contract. Deal Processing will no longer request NCCOs to add suffixes to the contract. However, we will ensure that the individual named in the contract, ID, credit application, and title are the same person. Note: DocuSign does not recognize suffixes on IDs. | The homeowner will:
For U.S. homeowners, accepted IDs include:

Common reason for ID rejection:
Legibility Issues/unreadable
Shadow cast on the ID obscured key information
Excessing lighting that may cause reflections
The entire ID is not captured in the image
Ensure there are no additional objects in the photo, as this could make the photo appear tampered with and lead to rejection.
Important Notes:
For any change orders after the initial contract signing, the homeowner will need to answer personal history questions (LexisNexis knowledgebase questions) to re-verify their identity
If the homeowner fails to answer the LexisNexis knowledge-based authentication (KBA) questions while completing the change orders (HCO/ICO/NCCO), they can resend the change order document. The homeowner has up to 4 attempts to answer the KBA questions. If they fail all 4 attempts, the installer must resend the ICO/HCO or NCCO. The KBA questions are generated randomly based on the homeowner's information.
ID verification will not be required for change orders.
Homeowners will no longer have the option to upload a photo ID for change orders.
For any issues related to ID failures in DocuSign, Support Agents should create a DP case assignment. Follow the steps outlined in Creating and Assigning Cases
