Anti-Money Laundering Client Identification Requirements

We are required by UK law to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations 1993 (and periodical updates) and verify your identity and address to ensure that any investments placed via us have not come from illegal sources.  This is for your and our protection and is enforced strictly by regulatory bodies given recent terrorist activity.

We ask you to supply us with 2 of the following for evidence of your name, address and date of birth:

  • Current full and valid signed passport
  • National identification card (non UK nationals)
  • Full or provisional valid UK/EU photo driving licence
  • Firearms certificate
  • Shotgun licence
  • Identification card issued by the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland

If you can only provide one document from the list above, please provide three documents from the list below, rather than two.  

If you cannot supply any documents from the list above, please supply four documents from the list below, rather than two.

We ALSO ask you to supply us with 2 of the following for supplementary evidence:

  • Valid old-style full UK driving licence
  • State pension or benefits book / notification letter
  • Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) tax credit notification
  • Educational or other grant documentation
  • Instrument of a Court appointment (liquidation statement or grant of probate)
  • Council tax demand / statement
  • Current bank statement
  • Credit / debit card statement (issued by UK regulated firm) or EU compatible jurisdiction
  • Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) tax notification
  • Utility bills

No bills or statements can be accepted if they have been printed from the Internet or if they are more than 3 months old.

If we visit you at home then we can use that visit as one form of supplementary evidence.  You will therefore only need to supply one additional document if we have visited you at home.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FAILURE TO SUPPLY THIS INFORMATION MAY RESULT IN APPLICATIONS BEING CANCELLED AT A LATER DATE.

If you need help with our client identification requirements you should contact us.

All documentation should be sent to: 

Roberts Clark IFS Limited, 1 Stret Constantine, Newquay, Cornwall, TR7 1GH.
