Sending identification documents for Bradford & Bingley esaver...

If I were you, I'd give them a call. It's a Freefone no. after all (0800 11 33 33 Saturdays 9am to 5pm.

With their help and provided that you're on the electoral roll, you may be able to avoid sending ID altogether.

or you could pop into a local branch and they can do the necessary for you rather than trust to the post, if do post you must put something in with their reference number on and your full name and address as well also send registered post.

I've never sent proof of ID registered, and they've always returned it by normal post (never sent the passport or driving licence though).

Interest rates are normally lower for monthly, but if you leave the interest in the account, the interest you get on the interest takes it to the same rate as annual interest. Not much point in monthly unless you're drawing the cash out.

If it's really important documentation (and I'd never send my passport or driving licence through the post, that is far too risky), I'd sent it Special Delivery it's more secure and "guaranteed". "Recorded delivery ("Signed For") isn't very secure or guaranteed, in fact it's no different from first class, expect they ask for a signature on delivery, things go missing just as frequently as first class and the comeback if just the same.

They should be able to verify your ID using your passport number online, most banks/building societies have access to this the agency providing this check data now.
