Thanks. I found some links on the net.
however, this is the conundrum.
1. Id has to be verified - no problem - Passport held
2. Residency has to be verified like household bill letters - they are here 2 days - no bills exist and won't do for a while - they are living with their parents
3. PPS number validation - they had a PPS number in the 1980s and worked in Ireland paying tax etc, but have none of the revenue or social welfare letters since then and have no documents with their Irish PPS number on them.
So, with 2 and 3 not being verifiable, and despite the fact that they are Irish, living in the house that they lived in when last in ireland and have a PPS number, they can't prove these last two facts.
Is there any suggestions for how these last 2 can be proved or proved so that the banks are happy that the evidence satisfies money laundering requirements?
