Do you have anything else that confirms your name and address and that they are bona fide. This is what the bank wants. You don't say how old you are, but do you have any utility bills in your name?. Do you have any medical records like an NHS card?. Any school or college records,membership of a library or a club or anything that corroborates who you are and where you live. Are you 18 and on the electoral roll The banks must have run into this problem many times before and should be able to explain to you what they would consider to be acceptable ID in order to open an account for you. Perhaps it may mean trying a different bank perhaps one of the smaller ones.Wish you luck.

Ask your chosen bank what other identification is acceptable. Sometimes they accept: utility bills (electricity, gas, water, etc), some types of letters from the Inland Revenue tax people (a notice of coding, etc), building society or credit union (or other bank) statement/passbook, council tax. Maybe something from your employer. There are probably others. They need your name and current address on them and they should be recent or current documents. Do ask them. Good luck; I know it is a frustrating process.

Have someone else open the account then you can be appointed the trustee of the account and no ID is needed.

You can't really, I have the same problem. I have no passport or photographic ID and all I was allowed is a basic account, meaning you can have a cashpoint card but no debit card etc.

Very difficult without these because of the money laundering laws that we have now.
