I've been asked to send you documents - who can certify them?
Answer
We’ll ask you to send us certified documents if:
- You’re opening an account with us for the first time and we can't verify your identity or address
- You want to access your SIPP account (e.g. to take tax-free cash) and we need to verify your age
- You wish to change your name or date of birth
Your documents can be verified by someone in one of the professions below. They must not be a family member, living at the same address or in a relationship with you. They must be actively employed in their profession. They also can’t be a trainee in their profession.
The certifier must:
- Write 'Certified to be a true copy of the original seen by me’ on the document.
- Sign and date the document
- Print their name under the signature
- Add their occupation, address and/or telephone number
Please scan and email the certified documents to administration@ajbell.co.uk if you wish to change your name or date of birth.
In all other instances, please scan and email the certified documents to newaccounts@ajbell.co.uk, or post them to:
AJ Bell Administration Team
4 Exchange Quay
Salford Quays
Manchester
M5 3EE
If you choose to post your original documents, we’ll return them to you via recorded delivery.
