Why do we need identification?

Before we can activate any service you have purchased from us we must first comply with anti money laundering (AML) regulations. These regulations require us to identify our customer before we enter into a business relationship. As soon as we have identified our client and other persons connected to the order, for example all directors and shareholders, we can allow our service to be activated. 

If you are purchasing an address service from us please do not start using the address until you have received confirmation your service has been activated.

Whilst this may seem like an onerous task, it should be viewed positively. You can have faith that we are registered with both HMRC and the ICO. We register every year with MLR to ensure we meet the government’s requirements.

You can read more about MLR and why we need ID on our MLR FAQ page.
