Proof of Identity

Before we activate your account, Australian regulations require that we verify every client's identity.

To do this we simply require you to send us a clear picture of your:

  • Pan Card

AND

  • Driver’s licence

If you do not have a PAN card or drivers license you can instead provide:

  • One copy of a government issued photographic identification document, PAN card, passport, drivers license or AADHAAR (UID card)

AND

  • One copy of a bank or credit card statement, rates notice, utility bill or lease agreement

Sending copies of these documents

Using a smartphone or digital camera, email us a clear picture of the documents we require to help us verify your identity to accountopening.au@ig.com

Alternatively, you may fax it to us on +61 (3) 9860 1755 or send via post to IG, Level 32, Queen & Collins, 376-390 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia.

In most cases your account will be activated shortly after we receive the information.
