OP can get a notification of tax code letter from HMRC.

The friend can introduce the OP to her/his bank if they have a standard bank account for at least 12 months.

In thread number 1220597 a bank employee specifically states referrals are NOT an option except for certain employers (and then gives some examples which all look sort of Home Office and/or Foreign Office to me.)

So - did you have a specific bank in mind? My partner has almost the same problem, except she's in her 40s with passport trapped in Home Office paperwork for literally YEARS (yes it happens, no it is not confiscated!)

For reasons only known to themselves, Natwest do not accept provisional driving licences.

It is complete nonsense - the only difference between provisional and full is that you have passed your test, there's no extra identification requirement when you trade your green licence for a pink one.

They are the only bank I know of that has this restriction though.

For people 20 years old and under they do.
