Start your application without photo ID
No photo ID? You can still start your application
You can apply for an account with us online without photo ID, but you will need to give us your original documents within 14 days.
Once you complete your application you will be given a reference number. Make a note of this number as you'll need it when you present your original documents as the final part of your application.
You won't be able to use your account until we see your original documents and your reference number.
For a reminder of the documents we accept, please return to our What you need to open a current account page.
Find out how to get your original documents to us:
You can bring your documents into a Royal Bank of Scotland branch.
Make sure you remember to bring the reference number you were given when you completed the online application with you. You will need this along with the original copies of your photo ID.
You can post your documents to us.
Make sure you include your reference number when you post your documents.
