The answer to the first part of your question is yes you can open an account for another person if you have proof of address and a birth certificate if under 16 years of age over 16 they must apply to open their own account the same for your self you must have two forms of photographic identification to open your account passport driving licence etc.

You can get a headed letter from the Foyer as proof of address. They won't give you a debit card normally but you may get a cash card (debit cards can get you overdrawn) or one that only allows you to withdraw money from the PO. You can probably use a Citizen card however I'd see if you could get hold of your birth certificate (speak to your support worker about getting it, it's only about £20). Try Lloyds TSB, my husband used them and they give you a basic bank account. You can't set up direct debits or standing orders, all you can do is get money paid in like wages or benefits and withdraw it from cash machines. The alternative is you can ask the Jobcentre to set you up a Post Office account instead which is the same as a basic bank account, you just withdraw money from the PO counter or PO cash machine.

Answer 5

It depends on what type of account you are asking about.

If you mean a po box, most require you to have I D and rent it yourself, you cant open it for another person. That's for individual, commercial/company po boxes have different requirements.

If you are talking about another type of account, like metered mail, I'm sure you would need to have ID as they would have to know who to bill.
