| | | Identification Required for Opening an Account |
Any financial institution is going to ask for some proof that you are who you say you are before opening an account. Expect
to provide:
- A photo ID such
as a driver's license, passport or student ID.
- Your Social Security
number.
Tip: When should you give out your
Social Security Number? Find out in our Banking Safely section.

- Address verification.
Have a utility bill with your current address handy.
- Your signature
on a card or form that will be kept on file by your bank.
Many banks will let you initiate an
account over the
phone and then run a check with a credit agency to verify the
information. But expect to make a personal visit to your bank to provide a picture ID and signature to formally establish the
account.
