Sorry Jim I don't know where that's coming from - people are just offering their experiences or comments which is the purpose of a forum after all. I don't doubt what people say that their experience was of their bank, because I know that probably even different branches will have a different interpretation of the rules.
I was merely pointing out that it is generally understood that for us Brits the only document acceptable as ID is an in date passport. If some offices accept anything else - fine!
Digitalisation of details

Re: Digitalisation of details
I am sorry Fyfin, that was not intended at you but a general observation. I noticed that when I first posted it seemed to me that my word was being doubted. I thought that the whole idea of this forum was to impart helpful information., which is what I thought I was doing. I have noticed this on many occasions that what seems to be a helpful bit of information either gets queried or made fun of by various members on the forum.

Re: Digitalisation of details
Me too. I saw nothing about it on the web site, but I took my things in anyway and they took copies. I would not wait for a bank to contact me even if they said they would. So thanks for that.

Re: Digitalisation of details
Ok so having take all the required documents in early May and all is in "order", turn up at Bank today to find account blocked, some details missing........
So spent a pleasant two hours in the cool of Bank, creating a massive que while the only two bank staff made various calls, played with their screens and chewed their gum......
Finally emerged in the 35c afternoon heat having unblock the account, paid the Form 210 and extracted some cash ready to start the holiday...........

Re: Digitalisation of details
Ah, now I see ...
On this subject, I'm pretty sure I validated my details ages ago, but yesterday I had to make an online payment - went through all the security rigmarole (once I'd found my Spanish mobile and plugged it in to charge so I could receive the security code ) hit 'Accept' only to be told I couldn't do it as they didn't have my up to date ID . Luckily I have a scan of my NIE on the pc, so was able to send it straight away It did ask for both front & back of the document, but the back is blank, so I just sent the front twice and seems to have been satisfactory
