A simple step-by-step process to verify your identity and progress your home loan application.

How it works

You'll need to follow these simple steps to verify your identity. Once you're done, we'll review your ID verification and be in touch. If there's another applicant on the loan, they'll need to complete their own ID verification.

The steps

  1. Check your details
    Select your name and make sure it's your full legal name.
  2. Capture your ID
    Take a photo of your ID with your phone camera.
  3. Take a selfie
    We'll prompt you with what you need to do.

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.
