We have amended the form as we have decided to continue with the practice we introduced in May 2020 as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19).
We have amended the guidance notes in the form to (a) cross refer to practice guide 67A, and (b) clarify that identity can be verified by a person who has retired but worked in one of the stated professions before they retired.
We have clarified that, where verification is made by way of a video call, the required screenshot must be in colour. Also we have clarified that we will accept a Channel Islands or Isle of Man passport to verify identity.
We have added a guidance note to clarify that where the verifier verifies the identity of more than one person, they must provide each person with a copy of their personal details page.
We've amended the guidance notes in the form to confirm that the parties involved in a transaction cannot verify each others identity. The verifier must be independent of the transaction to be registered.
The form has been amended as a result of customer feedback.
