From 1 July 2026, identity verification will become a formal legal obligation for Australian real estate agencies under new Anti-Money Laundering requirements.
While many agencies already complete identity checks, the new laws make this a required part of the property process before a transaction can proceed.
For most individuals, this will involve photo ID and proof of current address, completed through a secure digital link.
If you have any questions or need help understanding what this means for your property, Mark is happy to have a chat.
