retarded ass question, but i'm 19 in the UK, how do I get a debit card? I don't own any type of credit/debit card and I'm unsure on how to obtain one. Can I get one online or do I have to go into the bank?

Open a bank account
Register here

Once you have registered you will receive confirmation that your account has been opened and a debit card will automatically be sent out to you

Open a current account, ask at your existing bank or buy a pre paid if you're a povo.

Im in the UK and its the same. I opened a savings account not too long ago, with NatWest

Actually having read this, its only if you have a bank account and want to register online.
You will have to go into your nearest branch with the bank you want to open an account. Remember to bring identification with you.

I literally have no ID. What could I bring or should I just get a provisional?
>>2044116
why do you not have a passport
>>2044128
I don't travel anywhere. I have an expired Passport which expired a decade ago.
>>2044141
Do you have any letters/documentation you've received in the post that are in your name?
These can be used as proof of address and will be enough.
>>2044141
so i guess you dont have a job then, cause you need a passport to get most jobs to prove you can work in the UK.

A letter with my national insurance number, name and address. I assume this would be fine, but wouldn't they need proof of age?
>>2044162
Have you already got a bank account?
>>2044168
No, not currently.
>>2044176
Ok so you go into the branch with your proof of address (the national insurance letter) and your birth certificate. That is all you need to open your account.
>>2044185
lost my birth certificate, lol
>>2044248
You can't open a bank account without one, you'll either have to try and find it or purchase a copy of your birth certificate.

How the fuck did you get to 19 without a bank account?
>>2044262

op get the provisional licence. get someone to pay online with their card.
