Sorry to hear that. We open our first account with TSB in 2005. Some of the documents required: passports (of course), mortgage statement, 6 conseq. months of bank statements and utillity bills, letter from our local bank, and most recent tax--W2's would have worked, but we are both self employed. I can't remember anything else, tho there certainly could have been something.
