Mark I am currently trying to set up an offshore with Lloyds and they want all sorts of ıdentıty crap yet I have been with them for 33 years. Did you have to go through all that or did they do it for you going on your previous history with them.

Hi

its a standard thing now - all part of money laundering operations - even if you have an account with Lloyds in the UK, offshore is separate - they normally want notarised copy of passport and form of address - is that what you have been asked for ?

In my case it was opening a new account, but within the same office, so no problem at all

yes thats what I have to get plus utillity bills etc but it annoys me slightly especially with a 20 year history of British military to my name (all of this time the bank where sending statements to my units) So I dont think I am a likely terrorist suspect. Its all a pain in the butt thoughI suppose I will have to do it.

utility bills are for proof of address - as you say, a pain, but its not their fault - they are obligated by law
