So, if you can't address the points and questions I originally raised, and you think it's "reasonable" that an organisation like Nationwide should have a copy of a primary identification document (a copy, mind you, not just having had a look at it) then please don't respond further.

I'm just getting completely & utterly bored of your paranoia.

If you want to put it that way, you must lead a life of just handling cash? Surely that anyone who has information from you is just as open to 'mis-placing' as anyone else.

Bottom line, don't like their process - don't use the card. Simple. End of discussion & move on.

When I said "don't respond further" I was aiming the remark at posters like you. You may learn in due course - when someone opens a fraudulent account in your name 'cos some organisation or govt dept. has lost information about you that they didn't really need in the first place. Please don't respond here again.

I'll respond where i like, whether you like it or not. You seem to just want a discussion where by you only want to hear opinions that match your own. Which defeats the point of a discussion.

You are clearly not very bright. I won't be posting to this thread again. I've got a fair sample of opinions, but if you wish to continue to post here, well OK, carry on.

I'm very bright, its just your paranoia of identity fraud clouds your judgment on anything that requires confirmation of identity.

Sample opinions won't really help your situation further though, like one of the previous posters have pointed out that government requires it.

However, i'd hate to tarnish your good thread, so if you'd love a chat further then my private message inbox is always open.

I'm a very intelligent guy also.

If I worked for Nationwide and received a form back saying you didn't trust me with your passport, I'd think was an unpleasant arrogant customer and would be more than happy to tell you to get stuffed!

Your post IS pointless - you are clearly paranoid about giving a financial institution proof of ID they have reasonably requested. So don't! Take your business elsewhere. But moaning about it here is pointless, as not many people seem to agree with you!

Well I would have thought that requiring a copy of an ID document would be helping to prevent fraudulent accounts?

As for GIVING my bank proof of identity - They don't need it (I think I said that earlier). They only need to SEE it. There is no reason for them to have a COPY of it, other than because for perverse reasons the government tells them that they must.

They need a copy of it for two reasons:

internal audit - to check that their staff are actually seeing it and not making it up

external audit - to prove the same point to external regulators.

For goodness sake never ever go to live in Spain. You can't even get on the electoral roll there without 2 photos and 2 copies of your passport. I used to get passport copies and photos done a dozen at a time! As far as I know there is no one travelling the world on my details while I sit here in the cold

You honestly think someone in the bank is going to clone your passport? Why would they do that? Do you trust anyone?
