For deferred payments, while original documents are typically required for identity verification (e.g., passports, driving licenses), identity evidence is not required for deputies appointed by the Court of Protection.
Here’s a summary of the requirements you might encounter:
| Scenario | Documents Required |
|---|---|
| Standard identity verification | Original documents from List A or two from List B |
| Deputy appointed by Court of Protection | No identity evidence required |
In matters related to giving legal notice of marriage or civil partnership, original documents are typically required, and photocopies are not accepted. It’s always a good idea to check the council’s guidance or consult with their offices when in doubt. For more details, you can visit the deferred payments page or the legal notice page.
