Which part of the site were you on when you downloaded the form?  If it was the Regular Saver section it will include that name in the name of the form.

Online Application Form - Chorley Building Society (chorleybs.co.uk)

The correct application form for the Chorley BS Regular Saver

Web page/App form are contradictory ref ID requirement

Web page states.....let us have proof of your identity and address
App Form states.....The Society will undertake an electronic identification check through its chosen credit reference agency. The Society reserves the right to request original documentary proof to support an application where necessary. 

On enquiring via phone CS confirm that all account applications will be initially electronically verified and supporting documentation will only be required if that verification fails.

Certainly new regular saving accounts....  If it wasn't for this I'd have to do a lot of work hunting through various sites to find any new ones....

For RS accounts, yes as many are discussed before MSE has picked up or them or they won't even get a mention on the main MSE site.

To the point that staffers are now posting on this thread rather than setting up their own threads generally several days later,

Does this mean that there is a Seasonal RS that is due to mature on 30/11/20? I have Members 2 (June 21) and a Loyalty Seasonal RS due to mature October next. This won't benefit me then?

How easy is it to apply for a Chorley BS Regular saver, please? I.e. do you have to post in documents for identity purposes which is a bit of a faff to say the least or can the application process basically be done online?

If you take a look at their Identification Requirements page you'll see that, like many BSs, they say that they first attempt electronic verification and only ask you for docs later on if that fails. Personally, touch wood, I've never had any ID issue with them.  

Thanks very much! Yes I've also just had a look at their website myself for the very 1st time and this does indeed seem to be the case. As it happens I don't live a million miles away from Chorley (about 25 miles in fact) so in the worst case scenario I would be prepared to travel to one of their branches for a one-off visit if necessary.

You're willing, during a pandemic, to take three hours to make a 50 mile round trip and pay for parking to get your hands on a regular saver that pays 1.25%? 

This time next year you'll have made £20 in interest.
