What identification do I need to open an account?

You will need a primary form of identification (ID). Examples of a primary ID are a State Issued Driver’s License, State Issued ID, USA or Foreign Passport or Military ID.

Examples of secondary ID are a Voters Registration Card, Medicare/Medicaid Card, US Citizen Identification Card, or original or certified US birth certificate. If your current address is different from what is on your primary ID, please bring proof of your current address such as a College or Student ID, Auto Registration/Insurance Card, Insurance or Utility bill (with current address and dated within the last 30 days), Property Tax bill, or Pay Stub (issued within the last 30 days).
