House Of Loans

Under the Financial Transaction Reports Act 1988 we are required to obtain suitable identification from you before we can continue with your home loan application. The 100 point Check is based on allocating points between 25 and 100 to certain identification documents. For you to be sufficiently identified you must present documents with a minimum total value of 100 points.

To obtain the 100 points, there must be at least one form of identification from Category A (see table below) and if 100 points not achieved, further documents from Category A and/or Category B until 100 points has been achieved.

Note:

Original documents must be sighted. Photocopies are not acceptable.
Only one of Passport, Birth Certificate, or Citizenship Certificate is acceptable. E.g. can not accept both a Passport and a Birth Certificate.
Unless otherwise indicated, only current identification is acceptable. Document with an expiry date must be current at the time of presentation.

The table below shows examples of the type of identification that may be accepted in each category. Please contact us on 1300 720 693 if you need to find out other alternative identification documents that you can use.
