Acceptable ID for Investment Customers

Below is a list of documents that we will accept for proof of identification and proof of address.

Copies of documents are only acceptable if they are certified by solicitors, accountants or bank/building society staff. Certified copies must include the full name, profession, business address and telephone number for the certifying party. The words "certified true copy" must be written or stamped on the documents, which should then be signed and dated by the certifying party.
