Identification Requirements for Real Estate Buyers and Sellers When you work with a real estate professional he or she will ask you for some personal identification information, such as your date of birth, occupation, and a piece of government-issued photo ID. Real estate professionals are now required by law to ask you for this information and keep it on file for five years. The law also requires real estate professionals to record all funds received (for example, deposits) during the course of a real estate transaction. This information may be requested by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC). Your personal information will be protected by the real estate brokerage, and will never be used for commercial purposes. The Canadian Real Estate Association has prepared a brochure to help
consumers understand the new law and its requirements. The brochure can be
downloaded and printed by clicking on the link below.
