PROOF OF IDENTITY

It is a legal requirement that we obtain Proof of your Identity.

In the event that you are unable to attend at our offices in order to provide us with Proof of your Identity, you must seek assistance from a person who is regulated under the Money Laundering Regulations to certify your identity.

In the event that a Regulated Third Party is certifying your identity they must complete the Third Party Verification of Identity Form overleaf in its entirety and attach Certified Copies of your passport/driving licence and proof of your address (utility bill) to the form.

Each client must attend before the Regulated Third Party so that they are able to compare your proof of identity documentation against your identity in person.

Please note that if you are not able to attend at our offices for us to verify your proof of identity documentation, it will be necessary for us to undertake an electronic identity search on your behalf as a part of our proof of identity procedure.
