Can I open a bank account with no ID?

I think someone will be getting banned shortly.

If openly praising a mass-murdering dictator isn't worthy of a ban, I don't know what is

Are you on the electoral roll, at your current address? Do you get any official documents sent there other than phone accounts?

Yes, I have other official documents, just not photo ID in date.

I have never had to show ID to open a bank account I just do it online.

I've had a look online at a few bank accounts and they seem to require uploading ID.

I opened a bank account recently and wasn’t asked for any ID. The first page said it would be required, but it never came up again and the account was opened without it.

Which bank please?

It was with TSB

Will the bank be able to verify you from credit records / electoral roll.

Can you get another account with whoever you currently bank with?

Good idea - presumed they would still ask for ID but worth a try.

I'd presume the OP wants an account with someone who isn't their current bank, as is good practice in case of outages etc. 

NatWest are a no these days (asked for driving licence/passport upload.)

Parent with a paper driving licence opened a Nationwide, so it would depend what else they will accept as proof of identity (council tax was used as proof of address.) They applied online but were asked to visit a branch with the items.

Barclays seem to insist everyone goes to branch, but if you are local and they don't need photo ID, they might be worth a go.

Birth certificates are usually only accepted as proof of ID for under 18s.

Good to know about Natwest.
Birth certificates are not as good as proving who you are as they used to be!
