they will use your details, if you have a passport or driving licence you can corroborate digitally or they may write to you

Did you do it online? There will almost certainly have been some electronic validation about yoyr identity.

MidLifeMayhem · 20/01/2026 17:27

You are either

  1. already a customer of LLoyds so they know who you are. Or
  2. you have completed stage one and will have an email with everything including how to upload your ID documents digitally.

You don't seem to be a criminal mastermind, let's put it that way

Massive round of applause for you OP. I think you're onto something here. Quite what is another matter but keep at it!

I was hoping OP could sort me out with a Swiss passport tomorrow in exchange for a pony.

What accounts do you have already?

BloodandGlitter · 20/01/2026 17:45

I did this with Lloyds and someone else I can't remember, but my ID was verified against my credit report. Thankfully, as I don't actually have photo ID.

Lloyds is part of a bigger banking group so if you have a relationship with eg Halifax, Bank of Scotland or Scottish Widows then they already know everything about you.

Why did you do it?
