Business Identification requirements

AML ID proof is mandatory when you purchase an ongoing service, such as a registered office, company secretary or business address service.

We aim to avoid inconveniencing our clients and make it a simple process. We will ask you to provide two forms of identification documents. These can be chosen from the list below. These documents can be sent electronically to us by email (scan or photo) or you can post your documents to our address. Please note that identification documents must be submitted to us within 30 days from the date of your order.
