Opening Bank Account With No Address Proof

Volturnus

I want to open a student account, currently in 2nd year of college, and I am living at home with my parents with no proof of address as I have no bills. I have letters with my name and address from my college from last July but I read that they have to be within 6 months. What would be the easiest way to get some address proof? Would bringing my parents with their proof of address and verifying I live there be okay? Thanks.

If you are under 21 Ulster Bank will accept your parents proof of address assuming you share the same surname. I expect other banks will too since presumably it is a legally regulated thing and much the same rules apply everywhere.

I'm 19 so yeah hopefully that will be sufficient, thanks!

do you get any revenue letters? these are acceptable to them also.


Or anything by post from a reasonably reputable source?

Do you have a driving license (as this has address on it)?
