So /adv/, I need some information on safety deposit boxes. ideally

Got to a bank and ask for application.

If I were to guess, you can not use a fake name. This is high security shit. Hell, I have a storage facility and they ID me every time I enter.

Best options are getting someone to open one for you, or hiding your shit real well at home.

Man that's a nice storage facility, one of mine is just off the highway, doesn't even have a camera.

No one can open the box but yourself.
Unless you're doing something illegal, there's no reason to need a anonymous safe deposit box

>1. Is it actually illegal to get a safety deposit box under a fake name?
It'll depend on the specific local lwas where you are, but in all likleyhood yes, it will be a crime.

>2. Can you get a safety deposit box with no name associated with it? Just a key.
There are a whole lot of reasons why the bank won't let you do this. One of the major ones is that when it turns out that the box is full of anthrax vials, bridgewire detonators, or the gun that just killed the president of America, the FBI won't take kindly to the bank manager just shrugging his shoulders - he's going to want a name to give them, as much so they don't think it belongs to him as anything else. Also, if they were unregistered, no one would be able to store cash, jewelerry or important papers as every deposit box in the world would be packed full of cocaine (not that people don't put it in them now, but having a name attached to the box puts a limit on how many people are willing to do it).

>3. What information is actually required to open one?
It's exactly the same as opening a bank account, so two forms of valid ID and a credit check to verify the address.

>Best options are getting someone to open one for you
That's not a great idea. No one's going to want to do it for a start - if OP wants to put something in there that he doesn't want to be traceable back to him, I wouldn't want it being traceable back to me either, because I don't want to go to jail for him. Also, if it's registered in their name, there's nothing to stop them showing up at the bank with their ID, claiming they've lost the key and need a replacement, then helping themselves to the contents of the box.

The police can, with a warrant.

It's glaringly obvious that OP wants to do something illegal.

I assume it's federal regulation right? If it's state level then Texas.
I'll try to look into it more.

Ya that's what I figured sadly

Honestly, no.

I'm just incredibly paranoid and I like having a get the fuck out of town kit ready and accessible to me.
Safety deposit boxes are a shit ton cheaper than storage buildings, so I thought Id give this one a try.
I mean, the two I have now I pay $15 a fucking year for small one, and I think $25 for the med/larger one.

The reason I don't want my name attached to it is less of a trace back to me reason, and more of a I still have access to it if my accounts are all frozen.


Like I said, I'm a paranoid retard and having things like this set up help me sleep easier.


But ya, thank you for all the info.
