Requirements for identity documents

In this article we will take you through the requirements for the identification documents and records we require as part of the verification processes.


​

1. Identity document

By identity document we mean, for example, an ID card, driving licence, passport and so on.

If the identity document allows it, both the front and the back of the document are required. A copy of the identity document must meet the following requirements:

  • the document must be valid (at least three months until expiry),

  • the document must be in JPG, PNG or PDF format,

  • the document must be in colour,

  • the document must not be devalued by any watermark,

  • the individual pieces of information, including the photograph, must be legible and clearly recognisable

  • the individual pieces of information must not be blurred or blacked out, and so on.

  • for what purpose the deed is drawn up – usually for the purpose of identification

  • the details of the person identified

  • the declaration of the person identified
