Buying or Selling your home?

Strict requirements apply when completing a Verification of Identity check so that the Transfer forms can be signed for settlement.

Make sure you have current documents to complete your identity check.

The simplest way to verify your identity is to produce the following documents:

* Passport (current or no longer than 2 years expired); and

* Current Drivers Licence or Proof of Age card.

Note: If your name differs between these two documents, or to your name listed on the title to the property you are selling, you will also be required to produce your Marriage Certificate or any other relevant Change of Name certificate/s.

 

If you don’t have a Passport then you will need to produce a:

* Current Driver’s Licence or Proof of Age Card

* Birth Certificate

* Medicare Card

* Marriage or Change of Name Certificate (only if your name differs between your Driver Licence, Birth Certificate or Medicare Card or, to your name listed on the title to the property you are selling).

 

If you are unable to satisfy these requirements, other options do apply and we invite you to contact our office to discuss further. If you have lost your birth and/or marriage certificate, this issue may simply be resolved by applying for a new certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages of the relevant Australian State/Territory.
