We opened a bank account in January at Finans bank and only needed our passpost and driving licence for proof of address which is required now - even if UK address

Passport & photocopy at tax office & driving license & photocopy of passport at bank for us at end of last year, no photos required by either for us & proof of UK address was license no utility bills asked for but some banks do ask for them.
