Identification |
|
The following List is designed to help you understand our ID requirements under Branch applications (face to face) - one document from each list per applicant. Postal applications (non face to face) - one primary, one secondary and one other which may be primary or secondary, per applicant. If your clients are not on the Electoral Register, also include one item from the Secondary List. If two applicants reside at the same address, one document bearing both names is acceptable to establish proof of residency for both parties, e.g. a joint bank statement. Identification will not be required if they are currently either a saver or borrower with Harpenden Building Society and opened their account during the last five years. |
