1. How electronic verification works
In order to verify your identity electronically, we will ask you for your details (such as your name, address, date of birth) and details of your identification documents. This information will be passed on to external organisations in order to electronically match your information with information on their databases. These organisations will assess and advise us whether all or some of the information you provided matches their records.

The external data sources used to verify your identity include:

• Credit information files held by Equifax Pty Ltd or Creditorwatch Pty Ltd (this is only to confirm your identity and is not a credit check)
• Publicly available information such as the electoral roll and white pages
• Information held by the official record holder via third party systems
• It is an offence under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 to provide false and misleading information about your identity.
