bank accounts for 18 year olds

Unfortunately not. Most banks ask you to bring your passport as the main form of identification.

Even online banks, like Monzo and Revoult ask you to take a picture of your passport so they know you're a real person.

How long will it take for you to get your passport back? If not within the next week, this could be a big problem

Well done on the job offer though!

Hope this helped

thank you for the congratulations! I have no idea! its been ten weeks and they have not got back to me either. I may just have to ask if they can use my mums bank account for now

unexpectedly received a job offer yesterday and i'm trying to get a bank account. Have my national insurance number and birth certificate. Dont have passport as it has gone to be renewed. I dont have a driving or provisional license. What can i do? are there any banks that use other forms of id?

While driving licence and passport are excellent forms of ID for opening a bank account, there are other ways to prove your identity/address.

If you're expecting the passport to take ages, it might be better to quickly apply for a provisional licence. It usually doesn't take long to receive it. You should get an estimate on the website.

thanks for the web links! ive taken a look and a lot of them i cant do. as ive turned 18 three months ago i dont have utility bills or benefit letters. I think ill just have to wait for my passport

Yeah I was looking on the GOV.UK website and it says that it should only take about a week to arrive if you apply online

The problem with that is you need an identity document to apply for a provisional licence and that it usually a passport. My daughter's provisional took 10 weeks to arrive as her passport had expired at the time she applied so she had to send off birth certificates instead.
