Required Documentation for Selling Your Gold

To ensure full compliance with UK anti-money laundering regulations and to protect both you and our business, we require specific documentation when processing gold transactions above certain thresholds. This straightforward process helps us maintain the highest standards of legal compliance while ensuring your transaction proceeds smoothly.

Why Do We Need These Documents?

We require these documents solely for the purposes of preventing money laundering and terrorist financing, as mandated by UK Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Regulations. These legal requirements apply to all precious metals dealers operating in the United Kingdom and help protect the integrity of the gold buying industry.

Your personal data is handled with complete confidentiality and is never sold, shared, or used for any remarketing purposes. We maintain strict data protection standards and only use this information for regulatory compliance purposes.

When Are Documents Required?

Standard Transactions

For most gold selling transactions through our postal service, documentation requirements apply to:

Single transactions over £5,000
Multiple transactions totaling £8,000 or more annually
Any transaction where we cannot verify the legitimacy of items

Enhanced Due Diligence

For high-value transactions exceeding £50,000, additional information may be requested to ensure full compliance with financial regulations. This is standard practice in the precious metals industry and helps protect all parties involved.

Required Documents

1. Copy of Photo Identification

We accept any of the following valid photo identification:

Valid UK or EU Passport
UK Driving License (full or provisional)
National Identity Card (EU citizens)
UK Armed Forces Identity Card

Your photo ID must be current and clearly show your photograph, full name, and date of birth.

2. Proof of Current Address

A recent proof of address document (less than 3 months old) from the following list:

Electricity Bill

Landline Telephone Bill

3. Bank Statement Information

We require a recent bank statement showing:

Privacy Protection: You can blank out transaction details and account balances – we only need to verify account ownership and details for payment purposes. We do not accept screenshots from online banking; we require an official bank statement in PDF or hard copy format.
