I have tried to explain this on several occasions to some thick as pig !!!! bank staff but they were so stupid that they could not understand this point.

With an attitude like this. Hardly surprising you get declined.

Organisations who can determine who is authorised to certify documents on their behalf.

That is not personal ID
Bank/creditcard is ADDRESS verification.
For ID verification you generally (and easiest) need a certified copy of your passport.
Check the bank's website for an exact statement as to whom they will accept as a verifier. Not all will accept the post office and many require the verifier to be an authorized financial person so can sign with the FSA code number against their name.

Took your advice, and page 4 says for personal ID

"UK Bank/Building Society

Current Account or Credit Card

Statement

– statement must be
less than 3 months old"
