As part of the process of accepting instructions from a client we are required to ensure that we properly identify the persons appearing before us so we will need to see some form of photo identification.
- Passport

or
- National ID card
AND a recent original document showing the person’s current address:
- utility bill dated within the last 3 months
- bank/building society statement dated within the last 3 months

What you will need for the appointment.
- The document or documents which require our seal and signature. Please do not sign or have it witnessed beforehand. It is imperative that everything is done in my presence
- Any instructions which have been given by the lawyer who has prepared the document. There sometimes requirements about signing each page or even the colour of the ink
- Your passport or if you have no passport a government issued document which bears your photograph such as a modern driving licence and a document which proves where you live such as a recent utility bill or bank statement. If you have difficulty producing such original documents we shall need to discuss with you what evidence of identity we shall need to see to satisfy ourselves that you are the person you say you are
- If you have received the document electronically, can you please forward it to our email address in advance of the appointment? Please check the document carefully for errors in your name, address and passport number. If we have received the document electronically we should be able to make any necessary amendment to the document.
