Superannuation Claims with Certified ID

In the complex world of superannuation claims, one crucial component is understanding and obtaining a 'Certified ID'. This might seem daunting, but Claimsplus Lawyers is here to make it straightforward.

Why Certified ID Matters in Superannuation Claims

Your superannuation represents your hard-earned savings. Superannuation funds require indisputable proof of your identity to safeguard these assets before releasing funds. This is where Certified ID comes into play. It's more than just an identification document; it's a verified declaration of your identity.

The Role of Certification

Certification adds a layer of authenticity to your ID. It's akin to a notarisation, confirming the veracity of the document and that you are indeed the person represented. This step is pivotal for ensuring the security and trustworthiness of the claims process.

How to Get Your ID Certified: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Select an Appropriate ID: Generally, a photo ID like a passport or driver’s license is ideal.
2. Choosing a Certifier: Look for authorised professionals like justices of the peace, police officers, pharmacists, lawyers, or doctors. These individuals can certify that your photocopy is a true copy of the original.
3. Utilising Australia Post Services: If you don’t have access to a printer, your local Australia Post can photocopy and certify your ID for a small fee.
4. The Certifier's Role: The certifier will stamp the photocopy with a 'certified true copy' endorsement, including their name, signature, profession, and certification date.
5. If You Can’t Do It Yourself: Delegate the task to someone you trust, ensuring they have all the necessary information and documents.

Helpful Tips:

• Ensure the photocopy of your ID is clear and legible.
• Some certifiers may charge a fee, so it’s best to inquire beforehand.
• Keep both the original and the certified copy safe – they are crucial documents.
