What identification documents do I need to get a Biscuit bank account?

You'll need two things: a photo ID and proof of address.

Photo ID

We accept one of the following:

• Passports (not emergency, temporary, diplomatic passports, or travel documents)

• Driver's licences, including provisional licences

• National ID cards, internationally recognised only (not domestic ID cards)

• National residence permits, internationally recognised only

Proof of address

We accept clear photos or scans of paper documents, or PDFs of digital ones. Any of the following will work:

• Driving licence from the UK, EU, EEA, or Switzerland (full paper, photocard, or provisional)

• HMRC tax assessment, valid for the current year

• Recent evidence of entitlement to a state or local authority-funded benefit scheme, valid for the current year

• Utility bill, excluding mobile phone bills, dated within the last 3 months

• Local council rent or tenancy agreement, dated within the last 12 months

• Correspondence from a local authority about a tenancy agreement, dated within the last 12 months

Whichever document you use, make sure the address matches your application, the document hasn't expired, and all four corners are visible with nothing cropped out.
