Really pleased :) I wasn't sure what to expect when I found ID5 after a quick web search. The website looked very professional, but over the years I've learned to be quite skeptical of online reviews... See more

Extremely Unprofessional Behaviour and Invasive Personal Questions During Identity Check

I had two identity verification appointments scheduled through ID5 Certified Ltd. Both were cancelled without warning — most recently just minutes before the meeting was due to start.

What concerns me even more than the cancellations is the highly inappropriate conduct by one of the identity verification agents, George. During our previous interaction, he asked me a series of deeply personal questions that have absolutely no relevance to verifying my identity, including:
• Whether I was divorcing my wife;
• Where my wife is currently located;
• Why she would be transferring property to me while abroad — followed by comments implying that the situation was “suspicious.”

These questions were intrusive, inappropriate, and borderline offensive. I clarified that my wife and child are temporarily abroad due to our son’s autism and school holidays, and that I remain in the UK due to work. Nevertheless, the agent persisted with questions that had nothing to do with ID verification.

From a legal and ethical perspective, this raises serious red flags. Identity checks should adhere strictly to GDPR and UK regulatory standards — namely data minimisation and purpose limitation. A verification agent should never use their position to interrogate clients about personal matters.

Despite having rebooked, my appointment was again cancelled without explanation. At this point, I seriously question the reliability and professionalism of this company.

If this behaviour is not addressed, I will not hesitate to escalate complaints to data protection authorities and consumer watchdogs. I strongly encourage ID5 to review their procedures, retrain their personnel, and ensure identity checks are conducted lawfully and respectfully.

Superb

Very smooth, every step explained well and the necessary ID verification for Land Registry provided incredibly fast for a very reasonable price - already recommended this service to other folk, would most certainly use again. Excellent.

Quick and professional service

I needed verification done quickly for an ID1/ID5 form, and George did this very professionally & helped me to understand everything that was needed. ID form arrived the next day in the post

Easy to use service

Fast service with all the information fully explained to make it easy to use.

The information prior to the appointment was detailed and we can’t fault the service received.

Brilliant service

I used this company to help an elderly lady from our church to complete the ID process for The Land Registry.
From beginning to end it went smoothly, George was very helpful. We completed the uploading of documents without a hitch. Apart from ease this process also represented excellent value for money.

Found this Company online as my Solicitor doesn't do ID1 checks. I must say that I can't recommend this Company enough. I got an online appointment the same day. George did a teams meeting with me and all was sorted very quick and efficient. I think for the price this is an excellent service. I also received my paperwork the next day. You can confidently use this Company! 10/10!!!

Superb! 'Quick' and 'Easy'

Such a smooth process, literally a few minutes and submitting a few images of documents. George is also a great guy to chat with, which is always nice! Highly recommended by me!!

George was knowledgeable and efficient

George was knowledgeable and efficient. Put me at ease straight away. Our Solicitor had quoted over £300 for exactly the same work and I would have had to travel, wait and would have been very anxious. It only took 15 minutes. My experience was great.

Friendly, efficient & cost effective

Found ID5 online offering an incredibly cost effective way of getting the ID1 form complete. Gareth was very efficient and friendly, walked us through the process which was quick and easy. The paperwork arrived within two days as we had a late evening appointment. Would definitely recommend their services.

Quick, easy, convenient and great value

This is an excellent service and so economical. The cheapest quote from local solicitors was £150 plus VAT. It's easy to book the appointment, which takes around 10 to 15 minutes. I spoke with George, who explained things very well. I received my documents the next day, as promised. It's worth paying the extra £10 for next-day delivery. I will definitely use this service again if needed and would recommend to others.

This is a very helpful service

This is a very helpful service. One thing I would point out to people is that they need the latest annual mortgage statement as one part of verification documents. If you don’t have it or can’t obtain it then you might not be able to use this service. Gareth was helpful and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and emails promptly which I really appreciated as I have been under time pressure to get my documents sorted and sent. The price is very reasonable as some of the local solicitors quoted me £400 for this.The documents were sent promptly and delayed by Royal Mail (typical) but I received everything today and really happy. I’d happily recommend these guys, they are legit and will actually get this sorted for you. Thanks!

Fast, easy, reliable and secure.

This is an excellent service - very easy to book an appointment and the items you need to make the cerification call go smoothly are clearly stated. George was friendly and efficient; the app via which you upload the address verifications was easy to use too. The signed ID paperwork arrived the next day. I will 100% use this service again and thoroughyl recommend it!
