We are with Barclays but then my husband has been using this bank for how many odd years so no problems to join my name on his account just provided my passport for identity....the next couple of months I have accepted a job and I need my own single account for my salary to come in, so I went on my own booked an appointment with a personal banker , asked if i can open my own account and he then asked my national insurance number , my barclays card and the following day my confirmation and welcome letter from them arrived and then my new card and card reader for my single account arrived delivered my post.

My only advice is dont go directly to the bank and just ask anyone , book an appointment with your personal banker , they will tell you all the rates and what accounts will be good for you, dont forget to read the small prints before signing anything , some banks have some service charge if you want to open a savings account with them.

Seems like different banks different policies. .like others have said..get your name on some utility bills especially the council tax..(make sure the council tax start date matches your arrival date in your passport). ..Make sure spelling is correct and matches the name in your passport.
My wife's first bank card was a proper debit card with an overdraft on offer.
