What information do you need to take to the bank when you want to open a new account? (UK)

Question

I would like to open an account with Abbey and will probably go in tomorrow, but I need to know what details to take so that I don't have to do more than just the one trip. Anyone know exactly what you need?

Answer 1

Passport or birth certificate. Proof of address, like a fuel bill.

Answer 2

ID - usually passport or driving licence

Proof of address - utilty bill, or your driving licence if you use passport as ID

You can't take only a driving licence for both as it has to be 2 seperate things. A mobile phone bill can't be used.

If you don't have any of these contact them or check their website, banks have a secondary list you can use ONLY if you don't have the preferred documentation.  

Answer 3

At least 4 proof of ID

I would recommend taking:

Passport

Birth Certificate (if you still have it)

Proof of address - utility bill

Driving license

Your current bank account details and recent statement

Answer 4

passport birthcerticfacte and some kind of bill

Answer 5

Proof of who you are and proof of where you live

Answer 6

dole card

Answer 7

You will need two proofs identity, ideally a passport and something else such as a driving license.

Answer 8

Just everything you have would be a good bet.

i.e. your passport and/or driving licence;

proof of your address, for instance a few recent utility bills.  

Answer 9

Check for the information on their site.  But from what I can remember it is one form of idea with a photo and one other item which has your id on it.

Answer 10

PASSPORT/ PROOF OF ADDRESS /ANY BILL/ WAGE SLIPS/
