   We have added a guidance note to clarify that where the verifier verifies the identity of more than one person, they must provide each person with a copy of their personal details page.

   We've amended the guidance notes in the form to confirm that the parties involved in a transaction cannot verify each other’s identity. The verifier must be independent of the transaction to be registered.
