1409.02
1409.03 Telephonic Applications - A person applying telephonically shall be required to verbally certify, under penalty of perjury, that they understand the questions and statements read to them, and that the answers are correct and complete to the best of their knowledge. To complete the telephonic signature, the applicant will be required to state their full legal name. That statement will be recorded and attached to the case as a permanent record.
Based on this process, the verbal signature shall always be deemed to be acceptable. However, if it is later verified that the person who provided the verbal signature was not the applicant (or authorized representative), the signature is considered to be a forgery, and thus an invalid signature (see 1403.06).
