Is is possible to open a basic bank account with an expired passport and birth certificate?
Answer:
We’d a similar case of people asking this at the bank.
Unfortunately, once your passport expires, it is no longer a valid identity document.
Have you considered using your D/L, birth cert, etc?
Answer:
Hi,
Your previous answers are misleading.
All that is required is proof of identity.
That could be a copy of your birth certificate, a passport, current or not, a driving licence, credit cards, letters or bills from a utility provider to your address, anything that shows you are who you state you’re.
The banks want your custom, and just want to make sure that you really are XXX.
Shouldn't be a problem, and thanks for reminding me that one of my passports is about to expire !

Answer:
I wouldn't accept it but I would accept other forms of ID with a photo such as a driving licence. The licence also shows the address if it matches up with one of the other forms of verification.
If you’re a local resident and VERY pretty I would probably make and exception in your case.

Answer:
No. In recording the Proof of ID, the expiry date must be recorded, so the person who verified your identity would be for the high jump, if found out. They would probably have to re-check your details, so it's best to get it right first time.
Ring the Bank and ask them to grab their list of acceptable proofs of ID and address and select from that list.
Answer:
Passports are valid whether expired or not, you just can't use expired ones for travel. So, if the bank just requires 2 forms of i.d., that should work.
Answer:
Ask the bank in question
Utility bill/driver's licence may be sufficient
Answer:
no, but then again its down to person involved in opening the account
