VOI - Verification of Identity
Identity checks for buyers & sellers.
Verification of Identity checks can be done by a digital platform, face to face or by Australia Post.
What is a verification of identity check?
The purpose of an identity check is to reduce the risk of fraud by requiring you to verify your identity as a buyer or seller and your authority to buy or sell the nominated land or property.
Who needs an identity check?
You must have your identity verified if you’re:
buying land or property, or one of multiple purchasers buying land or property
selling land or property, or one of multiple owners selling land or property
transferring land or property to someone else, having land or property transferred to you, or one of multiple parties involved in the transfer of land or property.
This applies to both paper and electronic property transactions.

Advantages of digital property settlements.
Your buying or selling journey starts online – with website searches, mortgage calculators and other online tools. At East Gippsland Conveyancing we recognised the innovation of digital settlements and saw the benefits to our clients.
Until recently, the conveyancing process was mostly completed offline. Paperwork and postage increased the risk of errors and delays.
In fact, a study showed that 20% of settlements were delayed a median of seven days and 25% of these customers suffered financially.
These findings are captured in a specially commissioned, PwC Digital Property Report.
Digital property settlements help streamline the process for buying and selling property.
