Natwest Identification

VistaNick

Hi, i am applying for a natwest account and i hae recieved the application pack through the post.

i have looked at the identification requirements for opening my account and i do not have all the things required.

i do have my Birth Certificate but that is only accepted for people under 20, i have a Notification letter from the Jobcentre confirming my benefits which is accepted but i also need to bring a second document which i don't have.

could i take in the card from my post office card account?

are there any other things that i can take in that aren't on there recommended list?

thanks.

The statement that you receive for your PO Card Account would be more likely to be acceptable, as it shows your name and address - as long as you have one dated within the last 3 months.

do you mean like the bank account statement each month? because i have had a PO account for two months and i haven't recieved one.

I don't know how frequently they send them (possibly quarterly or less frequently, if you haven't yet received one) but, yes, it's like a bank statement.

Why not contact the Nat West to explain what you have got and ask them what they'll accept? In a similar situation with my SIL, the bank accepted me (an account holder) as 1 form of ID! So if you know anyone who has an account with Nat West, can they help?

Is it an account you can apply for on-line?
I was in a similar situation to you, and as I'm on the electoral roll, I was able to do it all online and by post without proofs of ID. It did take longer than they said though (3 weeks).
