Most investors use their driving licence or passport to verify their ID, although there are some alternatives we can accept. The full list is as follows:

• Current signed passport

• Original birth certificate

• EEA member state identity card

• Current UK or EEA photocard driving licence

• Full old-style driving licence

• Photographic registration cards for self-employed individuals in the construction industry – CIS4

• Benefit book or original notification letter from the Benefits Agency

• Firearms or shotgun certificate

• Residence permit issued by the Home Office to EEA nationals on sight of own country passport

• National identity card bearing a photograph of the applicant

• Please be aware that alternative ID documents will need to be manually checked and so the verification process may take a little longer.
