How it works
We need to confirm it’s really you. You’ll need to follow these simple steps to verify your identity. Once you’re done, we'll review your ID verification and we'll be in touch. If there's another applicant on the loan, they'll need to complete their own ID verification.
Ready to go
Have your photo ID ready and confirm your name is correct on your home loan application. Then, tap ‘Get verified’ and follow the simple steps. It'll take around five minutes to complete. If you're on a desktop computer or laptop, you'll get a QR code to help you open the verification process on your mobile phone.
