I'm a bit confused by what my settlement agent is wanting us to do by asking us to do a verification of identity to complete an upcoming sale in WA. They provide a Landgate link for more information that doesn't appear to exist. By Googling I came across other settlement agents offering the same non-existent link. I sold a property in November last year and my settlement agent (different to my current settlement agent) didn't request us to do this Settlement Identification. Only the selling agent did it. Is this process with settlement agent superseded?
I'm not sure how I managed to sell in WA late last year if this is compulsory? If If We are required to have a settlement verification for WA and are selling in Qld next month can we be ID'd by Australia Post for both sales if it's compulsory for both?
