I`m trying to open a joint account with IB for my wife and myself.

It states that the proof of identity must be passport or drivers license and must include a photo.

Fine for me ,but the wife has no passport and an old style license with no photo.

Does anyone know if that will do or have a number I can ring other than the Swiss one so i can ask them?

Thanks.

Joint account ?

Just wondering if that is the wisest thing for you to do ?

It brings Joint liabilities.

we have our reasons

but thanks for the thought

Is there a reason why your wife isnt pictured any where?

Hi Christoff

Welcome to T2W
IB should accept the old style driving licence. It's only to prove you are who you say you are - A photo doesn't show anything......although IB probably had a good laugh at mine :cheesy:

I think Barjon is right, it would be riskier have it in both names, but you obviously have good reasons

IB have a London number which has been posted on this site.

Garry Dibley is the contact and he is very helpful.

I had aproblem with proof of identity but Garry sorted it out.

Give him a ring.

If you can't find the number, send me a message and I'll look it up for you.
