Do you fax The front or front&back of Driving license to ebay/paypal

maprod · #1 08-13-2011

Do you show only the front of Driving license to ebay/paypal or both front and back side of the ID card.

And is there any line or number that you can hide (black out) from the Driving license. Or you have to show them all?

Also can fax as black and white document?

Just the front.

I hide nothing.

B&W is fine.

Thank you so much.

Can I ask another question. Is Provisional driving license ID OK?

GrannyT · #5 08-13-2011

No it isn't

Provisional is just as good as a normal licence, i have used it many times to verify Paypal accounts.

i really dont know what your talking about when you say its no good.?!?

From your posts and stuff ive been seeing in different threads for the past month or so it made me assumed you were a well experienced member with the Paypal and eBay stuff. seems not...

Fine, good for you, I'm glad it works for you. Provisional DL is NOT classed as photographic proof of ID in the UK. Try and open a bank account with one.

But I expect you know better

thehaksharif · #10 08-13-2011

Actually your very wrong there once again.

Provisional Driving Licence is classed as Valid Photographic Identification and a Bank Account CAN be opened with it. The only UK Banks NOT allowing to open an account with a provisional are RBS and Natwest, Even so they allow you to open with a provisional if you are under 20 but after that no.

Im sorry, im not trying to prove you wrong or argue, im just spreading the knowledge.

GrannyT · #11 08-13-2011

I'm sure you're right - my youngest could not open an account with Barclays 2 months ago with a provisional. She had to provide additional proof. I will refer Barclays to you if it happens again.

thehaksharif · #12 08-13-2011

I bank with Barlcays myself, and being a full licence holder i still had to provide additional proof to open the account.

ryanba · #13 08-13-2011

ID requirements for Barclay's bank.

To confirm who you are, we need to see an original version of one of the following:
Full, current passport
Current National Identity Card
Current Photocard Driving Licence or UK full paper driving licence
To confirm where you live, we need to see an original version of one of the following:
Photocard driving licence or UK full paper driving licence (if you haven't already used this to prove who you are)
National identity card (if you haven't already used this to prove who you are)
UK bank, mortgage or credit card statement that is less than three months old (internet statements aren't acceptable)
Utility bill (not mobile phone) which is less than three months old or current financial year council tax bill (internet statements aren't acceptable)

Photocard driving licence includes Provisional

UK full paper driving licence does NOT include Provisional paper licence.

just to share something,i open my natwest account with my provisional licence,(3 years ago)
now i have full licence

i went to 1 branch they said it can't be done with provisional(at the reception)

i went to the second branch they said we are very happy to open you an account.

i really think its depend on the person in the bank.if they want they will do it

isitworththestress · #17 08-14-2011

My son used his provisional to open his bank account recently and they were happy with that.

And I have used provisional for one or two paypal accounts.

GrannyT · #18 08-14-2011

Then I stand corrected and educated - thank you

missinglink · #19 08-15-2011

paypal, they rejected provisional for me

isitworththestress · #20 08-15-2011

It is looking a bit hit and miss, just like the banks.

maprod · #21 08-15-2011

So the conclusion is...

"depend on your luck if provisional driving license will work for you or not."

But Granny, why would you compare Paypal to a Bank? From our previous discussions you explicitly defined its difference from a Bank....that is your reasoning on why its perfectly legal to make stealth accounts under assumed names. Was it not? :D

(Ha ha sorry I couldn't resist)
