Names that do not match

If your ID and your bank account show different names, after marriage for example, expect to be asked for a document linking the two. Register in the name on your photo ID and tell support at the start.

Non-UK documents

A foreign passport is normally accepted as photo ID. Proof of address must still show your UK address.

Keep the originals to hand: a casino may ask for a clearer photo.
