Opening a Santander mini 123 account

My daughter will be 13 in August and she would like to open a mini 123 account (for 11-18 year olds). I have been trying to help her through the online application process but, as she isn't a current Santander customer (we have a 123 account, but she doesn't) it mentions that she will need "up to two forms of identification (if you are a new customer).". What forms of acceptable ID does a 12/13 year old have? I suppose her birth certificate could be one but I can't think of any others. I couldn't see any link to help telling you what Santander would accept, but maybe I just missed it.
Has anyone on here managed to successfully open one of these accounts?
Cheers
