Video Verification

Video identification is a quick and convenient method that allows our team to verify your identity online.

We understand that many may struggle to send original or certified proof of identification/proof of address documentation using the postal service. In order to assist with this issue, Skipton have developed an alternative process for submitting an application and obtaining the required documentation from customers using email and video calling software.
