Under anti-money laundering legislation, we are required to verify the identity of all our clients and any associated executors or personal representatives. This includes obtaining information that confirms full name, residential address and date of birth. This verification is performed at the account opening stage and then at regular intervals.
We will attempt to verify your identity using electronic searches, but if this is unsuccessful, we will request documentary evidence. One item for section 1 and one item from section 2 is required (the same document can’t be used to cover both sections, and they must come from different sources).

Documents can be loaded to our document upload facility at My Account. Alternatively, the documents can be posted to us although we recommend that you don’t send us original valuable items e.g. passports. Any copies will need to be certified and the certification will need to be an original. All items will be returned once we’ve verified them.
Someone in one of these professions can certify your documents – financial adviser, solicitor/lawyer, legal executive, notary public, commissioner for oaths, judge, accountant, stockbroker, bank/building society official or post office official. The certifier will need to state ‘original seen’ and then sign, date and print their name, job title, full address and telephone number. The certification must be dated within the last 6 months and the certifier must not be a family member.
Please contact us if you are having difficulty finding a certifier in one of these professions.
Our address is Jupiter Customer Services Department PO Box 10666 Chelmsford CM99 2BG
If you decide to sell/transfer your holding and we have not received the relevant anti-money laundering verification documents, the proceeds will be held.
