Electronic Verification of Identity Guide


This guide has been created to help navigate CDFs Electronic Verification of Identity process

What is Electronic Verification of Identity?

Before any authorised person, such as an account signatory or CDF Online user, can access CDF products and services, they must be formally identified. CDF uses the GBG ID service to complete this process electronically.


You can view our Electronic Verification of Identity Statement for more information.

How does it work?

When you submit a CDF online form, each person requiring identification will be sent an SMS containing a unique link to complete the process.
