Indentification Documents (Individuals)
PROOF OF IDENTITY FOR INDIVIDUALS
The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer Regulations 2017) (replacing the Money Laundering Regulations 2007) require appropriate identity (ID) evidence to be provided when certain transactions take place. The checklist below sets out the ID evidence needed.
Proof of Name - 1 document required | Proof of Address - 1 Document required |
|---|---|
Current signed passport | Utility Bill (issued past within 3 months) |
Documents we will not accept include, but are not limited to:
- Provisional driving licence
- Mobile phone bills
- Credit card statements
We may look at alternative sources of identification if documents from the schedule are not available. We would look at:-
• Letter from care home manager
• Letter from GP
• Letter from property owner confirming temporary residence
• Professional identification if someone has mental health or capacity problems
We will undertake an electronic identification check whenever possible and send you an email to enable us to do this. Our electronic identification service provider is Amiqus. We make a charge of £18 (£15 plus VAT) per name for each electronic identification check.
Paper or electronic photocopies cannot be accepted by us (unless we have previously had sight of originals) so please ensure if you are posting identification to us it is sent to the address as listed on our letterhead using the Royal Mail Signed For service. Your ID will be returned by us using the same service.
We cannot accept one form of identification for both name and address e.g. if you provide your driving licence as proof of your name you must provide another form of identification for your address, such as a utility bill. ID must be received by us before any meeting takes place or any work is commenced by us.
