bank account.
3 Answers
A young relative of ours has moved up to Scotland and has begun working for a large sport store chain. He has been told that he cannot get his wages paid until he has a bank account. He is not in possession of any photo id and therefore is having difficulty getting a bank account. Any ideas anyone?

He must at least have proof of address via a letter from his landlord and he must have a National Insurance Card as everyone is issued with one now. Applying for a passport is the best route to go as it will be necessary for many other things as well. I was able to apply for an exemption for my mother who does not have a passport or driving licence or even a firearms certificate ( thank god! ) so it is possible.
