As part of the application process, we'll need to see proof of identity. If you're a sole trader or self-employed, we'll ask to see:
- Your full UK Driving Licence.
- A second proof of your current address, ideally a public utility bill or a bank statement (dated within three months of the date on your application form) or a solicitor's letter.*
If you're financing a MINI on behalf of a company, we require a named director of the company to provide a copy of their driving licence, or if this is not available, their passport. For partnerships we require the same documentation, but it should be the named partner who provides the information.
The documents you supply must be originals. But don't worry, the Financial Services Specialist will photocopy them and return them to you before you leave.
If you're planning to part exchange a current car, please also bring along the DVLA V5 vehicle documentation (log book).
When we receive the completed finance application and proofs of identity, we'll check your credit worthiness by making searches at credit reference agencies and see whether you meet our underwriting criteria.
*Unfortunately we cannot accept store card statements, Social Security books or mobile telephone bills as proof of address.
