Opening a bank account with minimal ID

Lost_Soal_666

Hello there!

I only have a driving licence as ID (no letter for my address so please dont ask!)

I need a bank account that I can pay money into it then set a standing order to pay money out on time ever month

Any ideas please?

Or not possible?

Thanks

If you have an online ID presence you might have some success with one of the progressives - Metro etc.

if you are on the electoral roll thats your address validated when they run a credit check.

trying to imagine how anyone might not have a letter without their name and address on it. no need to explain but would suggest that needs to be sorted sooner rather than later. then again if you can get a bank account that might do the trick.

…presumably if it matches the address on the driving licence?

You can ask HMRC for a letter confirming your tax code. This acceptable for address confirmation for most banks.

So am I right in think that what you are saying is that if I have the above letter, along with my driving licence then a bank will let me open a bank account right?

If so then how do i get that letter please?
