Everyone hoping to bid in an auction needs to have photographic ID together with a proof of residency. If you are the successful bidder, the auctions team will take copies of your ID, and they may carry out electronic ID verification as well, in order to meet the HMRC Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. Remote bidders (Telephone/Proxy/Online) will also need to provide this ID before their bid can be accepted.
