What documents do we need?

Please provide us with the original legal document to allow us to take a copy for our records. It may not always be possible to provide us with original documents. Copies of documents can be certified by a regulated professional person, such as a solicitor, accountant or bank official.

We will use our electronic verification system to verify your identity. In certain circumstances this may not be successful (for example if you have recently moved house and you are not yet listed on the electoral roll). We may need to ask you for additional identification.

What happens next?

We will send a letter confirming that the document has been registered and you can act on the Account Holders behalf.
