Important News from TSB: Improvements to certifying ID for TSB mortgage applications
From today, 28 February, TSB branches will be able to certify ID for all TSB mortgages, including intermediary applications. This was previously only available to applicants remortgaging to TSB using our free legals service.
If a broker needs to provide certified ID for an application, they’ll no longer be restricted to sending their customer to a Lawyer, Notary, Barrister, or an Accountant who is a member of a UK/EU recognised professional body.
Applicants can now visit a TSB branch to have their documents certified. They can then take these copies directly to their broker to progress their application.
