Bank of Scotland Vantage Account

I decided to open a BOS Vantage Account today. Unfortunately, I need to bring ID and proof of address to a branch - issue is I live in London and I am not going to be in Scotland any time soon (especially not within the 14 days post-application).
Can't I just email or mail my documents? How have you guys done it?
Thanks,

Sorry to bring this old thread up again, but I am having the exact same problem as OP.
I phoned Bank of Scotland yesterday to check how I can provide my proof of ID (having read this post) and was advised that I could do it at any Halifax or Lloyds branch.
I visited 2 Lloyds branches today only to be met with puzzled looks.
I've phoned BoS again tonight only to end up being cut off in the transfer process - not before, however, the initial operator expressed surprised that I was told I could use Lloyds to provide my ID.
Has anyone here (OP?) gone through this and be able to advise me how best to proceed?
Many thanks in advance.0 -
Halifax branches would be better as they are the same bank.
That said, Lloyds branches should be able to do it too,This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
