Why do I need to verify my identity?

The auction and art industry is covered by the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act, which requires the auction houses and Auctionet to know and check the identity of their customers in order to minimise the risk of the business being used for illegal purposes.

How do I verify my identity?

You can verify your identity on this page using Swedish BankID or uploading a certified copy of a valid ID.

What do I do if Auctionet shows the wrong Swedish identity number (personnummer)?

You can correct your identity number when you verify your identity on this page.

If that's not possible (e.g. if your identity number is in use by another account), please contact our support with a certified copy of a valid ID.

What does certified copy mean?

Certification means that a person other than the person that the ID relates to, confirms that the copy corresponds to the original by providing their signature, name clarification and telephone number.
