Proof of Identity

Consequently, you are required to provide evidence of your identity and address by supplying copies of at least two official documents which between them provide sufficient information to prove your name, date of birth, current address and signature.  We reserve the right to request original documentation in some cases.

Returning the Form

Once we have received your completed application and we are satisfied that the request is valid, the process to provide you with the information will begin and may take up to one month.
