For Canadian identification requirement when a mandatary is NOT used, does client sending photocopy of drivers licence meet the qualification of providing government-issued identification?
First if the client is not present, the real estate brokers or sales representatives must use either a mandatary to identify the client on their behalf, or the combination of non-face-to-face identification methods. Secondly when using a mandatary to identify the client, they cannot use a photocopy of a driver’s licence – the mandatary must see a valid original driver’s licence, and record that information. Therefore, a client sending photocopy of his driver’s licence does not meet the qualification of providing government-issued identification. The real estate brokers or sales representatives or their mandatary must see the original document.
