Verification of identity
Why VOI is required
As a law firm, we’re required to take reasonable steps to verify the identity of our clients. VOI is a process to ensure that people involved in a property transaction are who they claim to be. VOI aims to mitigate the risks of identity fraud and unauthorised or fraudulent land transactions. By verifying the identity of parties involved (e.g., buyers and sellers), we can help ensure the integrity of the transaction.
What is VOI?
VOI is the process of checking someone's identity makes sure that a person is real and they are who they say they are. It means that when someone provides proof (like a photo in a passport or driver's license), it matches the person you're talking to.
Three ways to complete VOI
Option 1: Remotely
Option 2: In-person
Option 3: Go to Auspost
