New identification rules: Wet Identificatie bij Dienstverlening
As of June 1, 2003 tax advisers, accountants, notaries, real estate agents, lawyers etc. have to identify their clients who contact them before they do (new) work for them. The identification must be done in relation to the fight against money laundry and fraud and is based on new EU rules.
The following information must be registered:
- Copy of the identity paper (passport or drivers license or registration Chamber of Commerce) including:
- a. surname, first name, date of birth, current address;
- b. sort of identity paper, number and date and place the identity paper was created;
- c. what kind of service has been requested.
- Every day the client has met the adviser.
Please be aware that if you fax a copy of the identity paper the photo won't be visible but all black. So either send it to us by post or scan it and email it then.
