To apply for documents which contain your personal information, you must provide evidence of your ID, either when you apply or shortly after. If you are applying for documents for someone else and the documents contain their personal information, you need to show you are allowed to do this by providing evidence of your authorisation to act on that person’s behalf. You will also need to provide evidence of the person’s ID.

Examples of documents that may provide sufficient evidence of identity include:

• current driver’s licence 
• digital driver’s licence 
• current passport 
• birth certificate

Non-profit organisations – If you’ve been granted financial hardship status, give the FRC Registrar a copy of the confirmation from the Office of the Information Commissioner.
