UK When you open a bank account you have to be on the electoral register to be able to open an account.. Do?

Question

you have to be if you're just opening a savings account?

Answer 1

You will probably have to show your passport and a utility bill (e.g. electricity, gas, phone) with your name and address on it.

You definitely don't have to be on the electoral register.

Answer 2

you don't have to be on the voters roll.

You will need identification such as a passport or full UK driving licence. You will also need to prove your address - recent utility bill, car insrance or registration, other bank or credit card statement.

Then providing you pass the credit score and search you can open an account.

Only UK citizens can vote, many foreign nationals have bank accounts.

Answer 3

No you do not,as many EU residents have accts in London and no legal right to be on the register.Having a passport and proof of address and utility bills is normal requirements.However you do not HAVE to have a passport either and will be required addition proof of identity,ie birth certificate.All that in order to be treated like a moron at your bank.

Answer 4

Nope, you just need proof of identity and proof of address
