The credit bureau services used by banks are not intended to verify your identity for notary purposes; they are used to verify your identify for credit purposes

The credit bureau services used by banks are not intended to verify your identity for notary purposes; they are used to verify your identify for credit purposes. The databases provided by the credit bureaus are so unbelievably error-filled that they frequently fail to perform even this basic task (and if you read the fine print when you agree to allow this type of check, you will see that they acknowledge that their service cannot be relied upon to prove identity). Moreover, this system of "verification" merely proves that the person being examined knows publicly purchasable facts about the alleged identity they claim. (All of the data used by these systems comes from public records, all of which can be accessed for free or for a fee.)
