During the current crisis, we're able to accept certification from pharmacists. For identification documents, we currently haven't received any advice that will allow us to accept non-certified documents, due to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing regulations.

All ID documents must be certified by an approved certifier and be certified within the last 3 months.
Please note the requirement for documents to be certified within the last 3 months excludes Trust Deeds.
