PROOF OF IDENTITY REQUIREMENTS

1.         Under the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 which came into force on 15 December 2007, we are required to carry out “customer due diligence” before we can agree to act for you.  We will need to obtain proof of identity and check that identity before we can act for you.  In most cases, we will need you to provide us with proof of identity (such as a current passport or photo-card driving licence) and proof of address (such as a recent bank statement, credit card statement or utility bill).  In the case of a limited company, we will need proof of identification for at least two directors and a list of the names and addresses of all shareholders with details of their voting rights.  We may also ask you to provide additional information and proof of identity of those shareholders. 

2.         In the case of a partnership, we will need a list of all partners and proof of identity for at least two of those partners together with a copy of the current partnership deed or other documentation that confirms who owns the equity and the voting rights of the partners. 

3.                   Once we receive your initial instructions, you will receive a “due diligence” form which you will need to complete and return to us with the relevant documentation.  We will be unable to accept your instructions until we have complied with these “customer due diligence” requirements.
