Hi Mike.

I had a similar problem with my branch a while ago. I wanted to open a joint 
account with my boyfriend. He needed bills and drivers licences and they asked 
me for my details I produced my passport like you.

I argued that I had already got an account with them and that all details were 
on file from when I applied originally and that should be sufficient enough.

He went on and on about fraud and all of that eventually, he went to his 
manager and it turned out that I was right.

Don't know if this is of any help to you. But maybe you can explain that you 
are already a customer of theirs and that all details are already on file. It 
doesn't matter what branch you go to because everything is checked with your 
own branch anyway.

Oh, hate telling you this but I don't think you would pass the eye test for a 
drivers licence. Smile

Jesus, The ignorance of people. When people ask me do I have a drivers licence. 
I feel like saying "yeah there it is down there and point to my lovely guide 
dog.

Hello Vippers,

As I approached the door of the Ulster Bank a small branch of the main one in 
town, armed to the teeth with my Passport, and hanging grimly on to the arm of 
My present Wife Eileen, I thought this job shouldn't take long, but was I in 
for a surprise. I wanted my name on an account with my Wife's name on it, and 
produced my Passport, I also wanted to lodge some money into a
savings account in the main bank in Town which was     quickly accomplished.
Had I a billhead with my name and address on it? No!!

But we had two joint accounts in the main bank. but was told, "we can't access 
that account from here." A phone call would have done the job. Then the manager 
was called and turning to Eileen asked "Does he have  a Drivers licence?

Eileen said " A drivers Licence! I don't think so."

We had been there for it must or it seemed a quarter of an hour and were aware 
of a line of customers behind us, so we just left, and on the way out she saw 
the two women in the office having a giggle. Of course it might not have been 
about their clanger or indeed it might.

I went in next day with a billhead and was told it was 05 and it must be within 
six months. My question is, Should I apply for a drivers licence?



All the best,

Mike
