Be patient.  Your state DMV or whatever the driver's license bureau is, will issue an ID card for you.  Banks will accept that because it will be a picture ID.  Ordinarily you will need 2 forms of ID to get your picture ID from the DMV.  Ask for an application and you will know what your state will accept.  I have been there and done that.

Contact the hospital at which you were born, or the town hall, they will probably require a copy of proof of identification...drivers liscense, passport, etc., and infor you of any fee

My bank wouldn't accept a check written to my new business in my personal account. I had to have an account in the bus. name. And I had to show them a business license to get it!

Because these days there is so much identity thief, it isn't as easy as just reporting it lost. You are going to have to prove to the agencies that you are who you say you are. First, you need a birth certificate. At each driver licence facility they have a list of what forms of I.D. they take. Report cards, school transcripts, and baptismal records are also forms of I.D.'s they take. If you have a picture I.D. of any kind, that will help also.  I would get the drivers licence first, then while you are there get a regular state I.D. card.  That way you will have the two I. D.'s that it will take for your SS card, which you can go to a local SS office, or you can get a form at any post office.

Call the bank and find out exactly what they need before you do find yourself in an OD situation!  Did they reject it because they didn't have his signature on file?  Or because he didn't write your name on it?  Call -- they'll tell you.

You could try egg.co.uk or other internet banking sites - they  often don't require the same type of ID that high street banks require.\n\nAlternatively, you'll need to go into a bank and ask them this, because they may have certain ways around it. However, from my experience, unless you have exactly the right ID, then they're not interested, more's the pity.

You can ring the Northern Bank in Belfast and ask for customer services. They'll either post it out if you pay by visa or whatever or you can buy over their website.

If you can establish a mailing address under a false name, and if you can get something as simple as a fake drivers license that matches your false name, you can open a bank account in that name. That would be the first step in creating a new identity. If you could also get a fake birth certificate, you could get a real social security number under that false name, or better yet, if you could steal someone's identity, you would be gold - you are what your ID says you are, the only real link to your old life is your fingerprints, and you don't get fingerprinted for jobs, unless you work in a few select industries such as banking.

A Bank can not - I repeat CAN NOT refuse your state ID over a DL....I used to work at a bank!  The FSR/CSR you spoke with does not know what they are talking about.  A state ID is a PRIMARY form of identification.  A social security card is a secondary form of ID.  They can not reject service because of this.  I would definitely talk with the Branch manager about this.  If the manager says the same thing, switch banks!  Find a bank that will treat you better and is all about pleasing their customers!

It happened to me too.  Ask around.  Call several banks.  One of them is bound to let you open an account.  It's the branch managers' call.  Sometimes.  After some time passes you shouldn't have a problem.  Besides, lots of people go through life without a checking account.  You can open a savings account.  After you've had an account with a bank for a while they're bound to be more receptive to letting you open a checking account.  You can pay your bills in person with cash or use money orders. This isn't the end of the world.

Open  a saving account and get an adult to sign on with you.  It can be set up so that you need two signatures to get your money.  Also don't get a debit card or checks for that account.  That way you have to go to the bank to get it.  Maybe on the trip to the bank, you will have a chance to rethink your purchase.  Another way is to set a rule not to make any purchase over say $20.00 until you have "slept on it" if you still really want it the next day, wait one more day.  Then decide if you really want it.  Hope this helps.  Have fun in Mexico.

You can usually access your bank account online. The bank may ask you to set up a secure online account, if you don't already have one.
