IDENTIFICATION AND LEGITIMATION
Under the provisions of Sec. 10(1) no. 1 GWG (German Money Laundering Act) in connection with Sec. 11(1) GWG and Sec. 11(4) no. 1 GwG, Arval Deutschland GmbH, as a leasing company, is required to identify the contracting party / lessee, the beneficial owner, and the person(s) acting on behalf of the contracting party.
The acting person(s) have to prove their identity by means of the POSTIDENT link received by them.
Acting person
A (natural) person acting on behalf of the contracting party is the person who pretends to act in the name of the contracting party / lessee. This does not require any physical presence on site (thus including, e.g., online business activities). This concept covers both the persons acting as authorized representative and legal representatives (e.g.: general managers / board members, authorized officers).
Acting persons include any natural person who signs contracts with Arval Deutschland GmbH on behalf of the contracting party / lessee.
Each acting person, except if he/she is a general manager or an authorized officer, is also required to present a "signed power of attorney” for legitimation.
In general, a power of attorney is retrieved from a general manager or an authorized officer or from an acting person who was authorized by a general manager or an authorized officer.
The contracting party / lessee is required by Sec. 11(6) of the GwG to cooperate and update these details. For documentation purposed as provided in Sec. 8(2) GwG, a copy of the relevant documents must be made and kept.
