Over here, most banks often ask for electricity bills, since it also carries your direct house address.

In some cases,when no one is living in house, frauds may rob the electricity bill and falsely claim to own the house of an investor, so electricity bill is not valid proof.

We're required for a government or company ID as proof to qualify to open for a bank account. In my case, it's my workplace that processes it, employees only submit 2X2, ID picture.

Do members use their passport as id proof, or do they have some other id proof. Some internet companies are refusing to accept the passport as valid id proof.

Here in our country, it can be a company ID, postal ID, or others. I usually use my postal ID and passport to deal with banks.

Can you share more information on the postal id which you use, does the post office issue an id card to citizens based on their address which they can use elsewhere.
