By consenting to the agreement you as the purchaser understand that we will undertake a search with Experian for the purposes of verifying your identity. To do so Experian may check the details you supply against any particulars on any database (public or otherwise) to which they have access. They may also use your details in the future to assist other companies for verification purposes. A record of the search will be retained. Or we may require seeing, copying and retaining two current forms of original identification, one of which will include photographic evidence such as a current passport or photographic driving licence and a document that provides a satisfactory proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement which is no more than three months old. If copies are to be provided then they must be independently verified by a professional person such as a solicitor, accountant or similar and the copy should be officially certified accordingly. In all cases and in line with the 'Regulations', we will retain copies of your ID in either paper or electronic form for up to a period of five years.
