Statement of Information

The EAGLE EYE - Statement of Information

Why we need it...

The statement of information or statement of identity, generally referred to as an “SI,” is designed to protect both buyer and seller.

Stop for a moment and consider how many residents in your county have the same or similar names. In searching a title, we will inevitably encounter judgments, bankruptcies, divorces, and income-tax liens against persons with similar names. These issues can cloud the title to property unless eliminated by information showing that neither the buyer nor the seller is the person involved in these difficulties.

We hope that the following points may help clarify any misconceptions regarding the statement of information:

  • it is not intended to be an invasion of privacy
  • the information is kept confidential and is not available for public examination
  • the early receipt of this document helps us do our job quickly and accurately
  • it is not used as a credit check or for credit purposes
