Early applications for ISA's

I went to the Abbey today and they told me that I can apply for an ISA for the next tax year 2009/10 early with them.

I was told to take my passport and proof of NI. Do I need anything else like a cheque?

Is there anywhere else where you can apply early?

The DLA letter contains my address and NI number that should be enough proof along with the passport.

Lots of places accept early application. It doesnt get processed until the new tax year but it gets the paperwork in for day 1.
