Money Laundering Act

According to the current version of the Money Laundering Act, auction houses are also obliged to establish the identity of their customers for each transaction of 10,000 Euros or more.  Since the respective amount of the purchases is not known in advance, the identity of all bidders must be established in advance. For private persons, a copy of the identity card (front and back) or passport including proof of address is required, for companies a copy of the extract from the commercial register as well as the name(s) of the authorised person(s). If a bid is made on behalf of a third party, proof of the third party's identity must be submitted in addition to a written power of attorney.
Disclosure of the above information is mandatory by law. The Auction House will treat these with due discretion and care. Admission to the auction is not possible without timely and doubtless identification of the bidding person.
