How do I provide the KYC identification verification for a director or UBO who is not completing the form?

The verification needs to be actioned in real time when the page is open; there is no save option. There are two options:

  1. The stakeholder is present, with their ID, in the office with you to complete this. They can scan the QR code/copy the link to do the verification there and then.

  2. You have the stakeholder on a video/phone call. You can then immediately share the link, have the stakeholder do the verification in , and as they action this it will update on your screen.

If I input the wrong type of business (sole trader/private limited company etc) how do I amend this?

You can click on the pencil at the top of the application page to change. Note: The form only gives sole proprietor and company options, if you are a partnership, please choose sole proprietor.

How do I complete the form as a Sole Trader/Proprietor/Partnership?

  1. Select business type 'Sole Proprietor'.

  1. In the Sole Proprietorship details screen, add your personal name in the Business legal name box. For a partnership, add the name of one of the partners.

  1. On the next page, tick the 'Yes' radio button to enable 'Doing Business As' name entry. Please enter the known business name here.
