money laundering checks when conveyancing

Options
Hello,

just a quick question regarding the forms of identity needed when completing the verification of identity. My wife has legally changed her name, but on her passport, driving licence and our council tax bill it is her maiden name. Does this matter ? thanks !

    Depends on how long ago the marriage was. If it is relatively recent, then a marriage certificate should suffice. If you are going back some years then they may ask for additional verification documents.
