We are adding ID Verification into the hiring process to comply with the increasingly strict regulations surrounding Know Your Client (KYC), Anti Money Laundering (AML), Counter Terrorist Financing (CTF), fraud protection as well as anti-bribery and corruption legislation.
Your employer must be able to prove your identity and ensure you are not flagged on any global sanction lists. This allows the employer to fully demonstrate fiduciary compliance using tools which are becoming increasingly common in banking. We do appreciate it is highly unlikely you will appear on a sanctions list or have a forged identity document; however, we are only following the latest protocols around money transfers.
The process is one time and will not have to be completed again until your document expires. A guide to help you with the process is detailed below, although once you have received the email the system is very user friendly and we feel confident you will be able to complete this with ease.

ID Verification is the process to confirm that your ID document, such as a passport or driving license is genuine.
Banking compliance is becoming even stricter and in Guernsey, the GFSC (Guernsey Financial Services Commission) is now insisting on having a process in place to ensure the identity of people receiving payments via the island. In addition, we often do not see or meet you in person. The identity check further reduces the possibility of fraud and provides comfort to clients that we know who our seafarers are. Personnel employed direct by CMR will therefore follow the same process.
It’s a very simple process. Once you have been selected for hire the recruitment team will invite you to complete an ID verification. A link will be sent to you email which you click on and follow the steps on screen. It can be completed on a mobile or computer, you will need to have your ID document in your possession to complete the process. The process is much easier to complete on a smart phone.
You only need to go through this process once for the validity period of your document. For example, if you have 6 years left on your passport then you will not need to go through this process again until you get a new passport.
