Acceptable forms of identification are a valid government-issued photo ID that confirms their identity for example a passport or driving licence.

For example, council tax demand letter or statement; current utility bills (gas or electric) or bank statement.
Failure to provide an appropriate document may result in the business鈥� application for registration being refused or the business being subject to financial penalties.
