North Carolina S423 aims to prevent title fraud by requiring identification verification for instrument registration.

North Carolina S423 introduces measures to combat title fraud by mandating the production of a government-issued photo ID for individuals registering instruments related to real property. The bill requires the register of deeds to verify the identity of the person submitting the instrument, ensuring the name and address on the ID match the instrument's grantor or conveying party. It also establishes a separate cause of action for individuals to seek relief if they believe a false, fictitious, or fraudulent instrument has been recorded.
