We are required, by your Lender’s solicitor, to guarantee your identity in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations requirements. To do this we must have sight of original government-issued photographic identity evidence e.g. a valid driving licence or passport.
If you do not have this then an Identify Verification Form should be completed. We can accept a certified copy identification from your Adviser at the outset, but your attending solicitor will need to inspect the originals to confirm that they witnessed you signing the documentation and to allow us to provide the required guarantee to the Lender’s solicitor.
