There are times when your mind is drifting for a split of a second and you find yourself locked out of your home or your car and that’s exactly the time when a professional locksmith can come to your rescue. The first thing a certified locksmith will do when he arrives is to verify ownership of the property he’s about to unlock.
Checking IDs
The most common way for verifying property ownership during a lockout is to present valid identification that matches the name on the license or registration of the vehicle or if the address on the ID matches the physical property address but if those documents are mistakenly locked inside the property then the locksmith can examine them once access has been granted.
Proof of Ownership
If you don’t have your ID on you then a testimony from a neighbor might be useful. Rrenters can provide valid proof of ownership like a letter with their name and address on it that matchs the property after access was beening granted.
Checking with the Police
In cases where proving ownership is difficult even with testimony from a neighbor then law enforcement authorities can be the best way to identity the ownership rights. Their databases contain information about residents and their properties and it is within their jurisdiction to use it especially in such cases.
