That makes quite a difference, a different bank completely! I have had a look at it - the same applies re needing to have money in the bank obviously. They ask for two forms of ID, but I can't see anywhere that they list the ID which will count - your birth certificate and passport would be the obvious ones, but does your Oyster card have your photo on it? or do you have a student card with ID on, or any club membership cards, or anything similar which has a photo on it? I think your best bet really would be to go into your local branch and just ask at the desk, what your options are - some people do not have a passport in the first place, but adults can usually take other things like gas bills showing a permanent home address.
I didn't think you meant to shout but it's helpful if you give the right info next time, I have spent quite a lot of time tonight looking at the wrong place, trying to help you!
Good luck with it, let us know how you get on (but perhaps not quite so late at night, next time...).
Have you chased up your passport, by the way? July is five months ago, I would be concerned if mine had been there that long, if they haven't been in touch by now.
