Sim Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Friday I tried to get a bank account. I took my ID, social security card, & Birth Certificate. The bank people told me that I needed 2 valid form's of ID. It was a law from the government. My ID counts as a ID. So here's the catch. I can get my ID from the government with no social security card or birth certificate, but I can't get a bank account with all 3!!! Quote
Spudinski Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 As far as I know, you only need proof of residence and your ID, and then also the small amount to deposit into your account. I think they mean "proof of residence" mate. Quote
Sim Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 I do have proof of residence. I just dont want to show them my 15,000$ credit card bill. lols!!!! Quote
newttster Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Then show them a water bill, electric bill, rent receipt ... anything that shows your address on it. That's all they need is some sort of prrof of residence. Quote
Spudinski Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 No, you need proof of residence as well. A utility bill should suffice, but if you can't get your hands on one; go to your local municipality and ask them for a letter confirming your address, and then give that to your bank. Quote
