Why Identification is Important
Recording of the check writer's identification convinces the jury that the defendant actually wrote the check. Many fraudulent, stolen and forged checks are passed each month. Verifying the check writer's identity not only protects you, it protects account holder's (and your customers) from potential fraud. The clerk will be the State’s witness if the case goes to trial. With no witness and no way to identify the check writer's true identity, a case will not be filed. THE STATE CAN ONLY ISSUE A WARRANT WITH A DRIVER’S LICENSE NUMBER.
