Is W-8BEN transferable between platforms?

Options
I have completed a W-8BEN form on Hargreaves Landown's website ahead of buying a US$ ETF. Are there any complications if I transfer to another platform, most likely Interactive Investor?

    As aberlyfid rightly said, you’ll probably need to complete another W8-Ben form with your new platform provider. Can’t see it causing any issues.
