What Are The 100 Points Of ID?
The system requires that an individual provide a mix of documents, as either originals or certified copies in order to establish that an individual is who they claim to be.
Copies of all documents must be legible and any photograph must be colour and clearly
identifiable. Certification must be on the front of the photocopied document, not the reverse, unless it would render the photocopy illegible.100 Points Of Identification Checklist
