Valid proof of address
We need to know where you live. So we need a copy of an official document stating your name and current home address, for example

• a utility bill for electricity, water, heating or telephone services
• an annual tax assessment or insurance policy for property you own abroad
• a rent bill

Valid national ID number

We need to know your national ID number – for tax reasons as well as for proof of identity.

Banks in EU member states are obliged by tax legislation to obtain and document customers’ ID numbers issued by the country in which the customers are officially domiciled. We therefore need a document that states that number, for example

• a document from the tax authorities
• a national ID card
• a health insurance number or certificate

• Personnummer in Sweden
• Steuernummer or Identifikationsnummer (IdNr) in Germany
• PESEL number in Poland
• UTR = Unique Taxpayer Reference or NINO = National Insurance Number in the UK
• Numéro National in Belgium
• UCN in Bulgaria
• Codice Fiscale in Italy
• Kodas in Lithuania
