Conveyancing clients are required to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no more than three months).
Confirmation of source of monies is also required under the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are duty bound to ensure that the monies you are utilising to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has come from a reputable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the fruits of illegitimate behaviour.
