To get post office insurance do I need my passport with me?
A user has told me that you get your documents there and then, is this true?

[didoatwork]

You need a form of prof of identity such as passport, utility bill etc.

*proof sorry

[sara3]

do it online and get it emailed to you. the cheapest I found was with Virgin Money.

although you really are a Mr Lastminute.com, aren't you?

[whiskeysheri]

No, you don't need ID with you, Gorilla-G, and yes, it's set up for you whilst you wait.

[Gorilla-G]

Dido so this couldn't be done online then for that reason?

[whiskeysheri]

If you're buying foreign currency at the same time, though, and want to pay with a debit card, you will need photo ID.

I do mine on-line, and print off a copy straight away ....... they send all blurb later.

[didoatwork]

Sorry, if I was mistaken, but I did think that when I did insurance a while ago at post office that I had to have proof of identity. I hope I haven't misled you.

[whiskeysheri]

If you had it with you anyway, dido, they may have used it just to speed up the data entry we have to do. :)

[didoatwork]

Oh I see Whiskeysheri

[spudqueen]

Do you mean travel insurance? No, you don't need any identification with you. (I work in a Post Office). Just fill in the form, pay the money and walk out of the door with your policy in your hand. Simples!

[whiskeysheri]

So do I, spudqueen. :)
