PROOF OF IDENTITY
Whether, investing your money, taking out a mortgage or simply arranging an insurance policy, in today’s regulated marketplace you will be required to proof your identity.
You must typically provide one proof of identity and one proof of address from the list below. Should you wish to make a joint application then bills in joint names may be considered as one proof of address for each of the named individuals on that bill.
Where you may have recently married and have not made the appropriate changes to your documentation you will also be required to include your marriage certificate.
