Photographic identification and proof of address will normally be validated through an electronic identity verification process, which includes biometric checks, meaning certified hard copies are not usually required. However, we reserve the right to request copies of identification or address documents where considered necessary, to satisfy our legal or compliance obligations. All parties involved in the purchase must complete this verification at a cost of £30.00 plus VAT per person.
