  • First correspondence I got from Ulster was a letter about a week after I applied. I wasn't given the option of electronic identification though, so you might get some emails about that sooner. Otherwise, you can get in touch with them over their live chat to ask for updates if you don't fancy waiting on the phone

    The sent me a pre-completed application form that I had to sign and return alongside copies of certified ID. They provided a return envelope which was pre-printed the following freepost address for their current account application team:

    The envelope was freepost, no stamp required. They asked for certified copies, which I got sorted at my local NatWest branch. There's no way I would be sending them originals of my passport, etc.

    If you get in touch with them and ask them to send you a postal application pack, they will provide all the required information and a return envelope.

    Hi i switch to ulster to get the £200 and i put in a ni branch and i dont get a text or email?
    Please help!
    Not sure there's anything anyone on here can do to help as such - if you've applied for an account and haven't received any confirmation then all you can do is contact Ulster and ask them.  How long ago did you apply?
    Was it the Belfast branch
    do you have to put a brance down 
    my broyher did bangor branch is it okay
    Not sure whether their branch selection for a current account follows the same process as their savings account, but applications for the latter specifically directed non-NI people to choose the central Belfast branch:

    I'm worrried that I won't get the switch offer since I done NatWest and RBS and got £200 
    If they ask why .
    Did they ased why are you with Ulster?
    And if I provide my driving licence by post will they return it to me?

    I was not asked why I wanted the account. When I talked to them the conversation was devoted solely to what I needed to provide to complete my application. Have you gotten in touch with them to find out why you haven't heard anything from them? Ask them to confirm they have your correct contact details in case an email or letter has been sent to the wrong address. Also ask what documents (if any) they require from you to finalise your application.

    Otherwise as I said yesterday, don't send original documents (ie. don't send them your driver's license). Send certified photocopies.

    Per the government guidance I would suggest, that way it shouldn't cause any complaints by them

    https://www.gov.uk/certifying-a-document

    Who can certify a document

    Your document must be certified by a professional person or someone well-respected in your community (‘of good standing’). You could ask the following if they offer this service:

    • bank or building society official
    • councillor
    • minister of religion
    • dentist
    • chartered accountant
    • solicitor or notary
    • teacher or lecturer

    The person you ask should not be:

    • related to you
    • living at the same address
    • in a relationship with you
    Pain for me would be I can get a solicitor without lifting a finger except for the fact I'm dating her lol. Can probably get it done easily enough though

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Or, if you want it looking actually official, use the post office:

    https://www.postoffice.co.uk/identity/document-certification

    It'll cost you £12.75 but it will look far better - and will probably work better with no risk of failure - than something signed by a teacher or similar.
