Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

Were you already fully established on the electoral roll when you applied?

I have applied to be on the electoral roll, although I understand the new one isn't published until December 1. I have the council tax and a lease in my name and the other bills are being moved one...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

Not looking for problems at all. Simply inquiring about various aspects to ensure I have all possibilities covered.

Anyway, I have this all under control now.

Yes, my old number. I worked here in the UK before going to the USA. I just hope they can find it.

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

Thank you.

I just called the DVLA to verify that the police know that it is legal to drive on an American licence just in case I get stopped for any reason and they told me the police do indeed...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

Thank you, Pollyana.

I have just spent the last 1.5 hours on the phone - most of it on hold. First of all, I called a doctor so I could register and they said to go in and pick up and fill in a...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

So that means then that even if I did have to provide three USA addresses my USA credit would not be visible in the UK? If so, that's good news. The last five years in the Midwest was a nightmare,...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

As I stated in my post number 21 above, I am trying to start my credit rating anew in the UK. I am concerned that having to give US addresses will merge my US credit rating with the UK.

As it...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

FACTA is Uncle Sam, yes, but the requirement of the three addresses is the bank itself. I called NatWest and apparently they don't need all that info.

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

It appears that opening a simple current account in the UK can be quite a complex process. I haven't gone through the process yet because I like to ask lots of questions first to understand how...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

Are there any other (other than supposedly NatWest) that exist solely in the UK? I am trying to find banks other than those like HSBC that have US or international affiliation. Surely NatWest is not...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

Thank you, BritinParis. Not sure why the web site stated three addresses but if it is just one, I can use my current address. I tried finding my driver's license number at the link you gave me. I had...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

That's good to know.

I have found that I can open a bank account with only my signed apartment lease. I was surprised.

Local library accepted only the lease, too.

I haven't tried signing up...

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

Was just about to go and complete D1 form today and then kept reading. Am I correct in reading that I need to know my old driver's license number in order to send in the D1? I do not know it.

Re: Habitual Residency, Bank Accounts and Driving License

I wonder really if NatWest can be considered a UK only bank. I was all set to open an account there and upon inquiry was informed it is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland. The RBS owns some of the...

What about NatWest? Will they allow the opening of a bank account? If not, what is necessary to open one?

I understand as a returning Brit I have to prove residency. How do I do that. I have a lease already signed and approved for over eight months so I do now have a British address. Is this sufficient...
