How Can A Locksmith Verify Ownership

No locksmith would want to become an accomplice to a crime, so ownership verification is quite an important step for us. So, when you’re calling a locksmith, be prepared to prove that you’re actually a house or car owner. How can you do that?

You may show an ID, driver's license or any other document that has your data, like your name and address on it. However, what can you do if you don’t have any of these documents on you?

  • Ask your neighbors to assure a locksmith that you’re actually the house owner.
  • Ask your relatives if they have any of your documents for verification.
  • You may also call your landlord if you live in a rented house to prove that you’re the resident.

    The same system works for car ownership verification. However, we understand that in case of a lockout, your documents are probably inside. So, we’ll ask you to show them after we finish our work. We know that in emergency situations finding documents might be quite problematic. However, we don’t want to put your property at risk, so we hope you understand why we follow these rules.
