That's changed.

@TimWardCam@c.im @cfy@mas.to @edzilla@social.edzilla.info @underseamonkey@fosstodon.org @duckwhistle@mastodon.org.uk @AlisonW@fedimon.uk going off on a complete tangent - a bank wrote me a letter saying I needed to bring photographic ID plus a letter from a reputable organisation (utility bill, bank statement etc) with my address. Obviously I took their own letter as proof of address. In countries where you have to register with the Police or another Government body before you can receive post, this probably wouldn't happen.
