Please bring your passport and proof of address (such as utilities bill). In absence of a passport, we will also accept a NZ driver licence or birth certificate, PLUS a government-issued letter no older than 12 months (such as a letter from the IRD or Kiwisaver). These are our preferred ID documents however if you don’t have any of these forms of ID available, please discuss other options with us. We need to identify the shareholders with 25% or more ownership, directors, and anyone else who has effective control of the company and is acting on behalf of the company, even if they aren’t signing on as one of our clients – this is a legal requirement. We will need to see ID for these people as well.
Not meeting in person? There will be times when it’s not possible for us to meet face-to-face, especially for those people we need to ID verify but aren’t signing up as our clients. If we’re not meeting face-to-face, then we will accept certified copies of your ID – we will only accept certification by a Justice of Peace, Solicitor, Notary Public, Judge or Deputy Registrar.
