Bank Account without photo Id

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi all,
This is my first post so please bear with me if its not done correctly. I currently do not have a bank account and really want to open on. The problem is that I currently don't have any form of photo ID. Is there a way to open one without any until I can get some sorted. Any advice would be greatly recieved.
Thanks
Bocster

You don't have to have photo id.
If you are on the electoral roll then when a credit search is done they will pick up the address confirmation electronically.
Id - you can have such things as a Benefits letter, Inland Revenue tax coding letter etc etc.0 -

You'll need to check with the bank to see what's on their acceptable ID list. Abbey would accept notice of tax coding or benefits letter, with a utility bill as well.0
