    hi just signed up to revolut and deposited 10 euro to get the revolut card,but I have no way of proving my identity as I have no license or passport.
    I have tried my pps card but its not being accepted as proof of identity,any other way I can prove my identity ?.

    Nope.

    Would suggest you get either formal identification. Passport most likely. Everyone should have a passport.

    I think a national identity card should work. Revolut says 'government issued photo id'

    A PPS card is not a form of identification, its stupid but that's the rules.

    They will only accept a passport in Ireland. Why won’t you get one ? Have you ever been abroad on a holiday ???

    I think they only accept passports for ireland. I tried to use my drivers license and it still prompted me for passport. Only did it a couple of months ago.

    We dont have a national I'd card.

    the were well able to accept the 10 euros I transferred from my bank account to revolut account to apply for the revolut card.now seems I cannot transfer back the 10 euros from my revolut account to my bank acc.

    Contact them for a refund, if its not going to happen without your account being verified.

    whats the best way to contact them?,the have no email contact.
    there chat in the revolut app is automated.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Jacovs


    I had similar issue. They didnt accept my passport, drivers license or GNIB card. No other ID I can possibly use. Asked for the account to be closed and €10 refunded but never saw the €10 yet and its been 2 months.

    Cant transfer funds without verifying ID so couldnt get the €10 back myself.
    Cant access the in-app chat without verifying ID.

    Nightmare to deal with if everything doesnt go 100% right.

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,537 ✭✭✭bassy

    just been chatting to a rep on revolut app the customer support and its passport only accepted so I requested for them to transfer my 10 euro back to my bank acc and its being processed now,can take up to 5 days to have it back,where as when I lodged it the took it straight away lol.

    im gonna delete my revolut app and do one up in my mums name as she has a passport,so that's how im gonna operate the revolut now.

    Sorry to barge in on this thread, but it is relevant to the thread title. I've had my Revolut for years, KYC (passport) done at the start.

    Now in recent weeks they keep bugging me about having to do KYC again? I think they might have changed headquarters to a different country or something like that? What happens if I don't bother doing this KYC stuff again? I feel I shouldn't have to.

    If you ask the automated chat “I need to talk to a person” you’ll get a real person.

    Yeah, I had to do it again also. Don't quote me on this but I think it's to do with Brexit. As they're London based - once the UK leaves, then new KYC needed in the european context ...i think that's the deal.

    What would be the benefit of a revolut card If You never travel? Having no passport I assume that, that is the case?

    Although they are not a bank they are regulated. Tbh if they feel that they are obliged to renew KYC checks in order to comply with anti money laundering regulations they are not going to be flexible - they will need you to do it or they will close the account. No financial service provider is going to continue to provide services if they feel they are in breach of anti money-laundering KYC obligations. Bear in mind we are on 5th AML directive in recent years, not to mention that they may well have transferred to a non-uk eu based institution for brexit reasons.

    Pay in sterling on Amazon and other stores. Disposable virtual visa cards. Works with Google/Apple pay. I use mine all the time


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,719 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    I've had a bunch of problems but eventually got verified. Then brecit came and they needed me to verify again. Then in the last few weeks they decided a driving licence wasn't okay and i'd to do it all again with a passport.

    Main issue glare. Found putting it on a place with no overhead light worked.

    Will they accept an expired passport

    I'm with them a long time but I'm getting daily messages looking for new ID

    I'm also getting bombarded with messages asking me to submit another form of ID. Been ignoring them for many months and my account still works. So is it true they won't accept Irish driving licences as a form of ID?

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨
