This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
The bill says that when someone applies for something, the person in charge must make sure they know who the applicant really is. They need to take sensible steps to check the applicant’s identity. They should do enough checking to feel sure they know who the person is. This is part of a new law that the government wants to make.
