SAVINGS - Identification
Please contact us if you are unable to provide documents
from the list shown, and we will try to suggest alternative
identification that will be acceptable to the Society.
Unless you are an existing account holder with
the Society you will need to provide two items of
identification from each of the following lists to
send with your completed application form if you
are opening your new account by post.
If you intend to visit one of our Branches or Agency
Offices, then we will only require one item of
identification from the tables opposite.
If you send us original documents by recorded or
registered mail then we will return them to you by the
same method on the day they are received at our offices.
A certified copy of the original will be accepted if you
are unable to supply the original document.
The certified copies must be clearly legible and include
the relevant pages of the documents.
The copies must show the printed name, address and
profession of a U.K. lawyer, banker, authorised financial
intermediary, FSA regulated mortgage broker,
accountant, teacher, doctor, minister of religion or
postmaster/sub-postmaster together with the date and
their signature against the wording, "original seen".
