Under Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 and under Clarity’s own compliance requirements, verification of identity and residential address is required.

Each individual applicant/signatory will be electronically verified.

To enable this verification to occur, you will need to provide a current copy of your NZ passport or NZ driver’s licence, AND you need to consent to the following;

• I consent to Clarity collecting, using and disclosing my personal information to verify any information that I have provided (or information that we may collect from other sources) with third parties and third party databases, including Government agencies (for example, NZ Transport Authority or Department of Internal Affairs) for the purposes of fraud prevention and complying with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing Terrorism Act 2009.
• I understand that if I disclose my personal information to Clarity, this information will be disclosed to Centrix Group Limited and APLY Limited. They may hold my information on their database and use it for providing credit reporting services and for any other lawful purpose and they may disclose my information to their subscribers.

If electronic verification is unsuccessful, paper based verification will be required. We will ask you to provide identity and address verification documentation that meets the following requirements:

1. The original sighted by a representative from Clarity or JMI, a photocopy taken and appropriately verified; or

2. The documents must be a certified copy, as below:

• All documents must be certified by either a Lawyer, Justice of the Peace, Notary Public, NZ Chartered Accountant, registered medical doctor or a NZ Honorary Counsul;
• Documents must include the full name, occupation and an original signature of the certifier as well as the date of certification;
• The certifier must not be related to the customer; a person who lives at the same address or less than 16 years of age;
• Certification must have been carried out in the three months preceding presentation of the documents;
• The certifier must sight the original identification document and make a statement to the effect that the copy provided is ‘a true copy of the original’;
• Any identity document for an individual person (such as a passport) must include a statement saying that the document is ‘a correct likeness of the named individual’.
