Will I need to be identified by Westpac?

Before we can close the bank accounts and disburse the funds, we have a legal requirement to identify the executor(s) or administrator(s). 

To identify yourself you'll need to provide photographic ID (such as a valid passport or a valid New Zealand driving license) and proof of address (such as a utility bill or correspondence from another financial institution). A list of documents that you can use as proof of identification and proof of address can be found here . If you do not hold any of the documents listed, please contact us to discuss additional options.
