Pick up certified copy from solicitor, take to bank? And what bank closes at 2pm?
It's not the bank's rules specifically, it's the UK Anti Money Laundering Regulations.
Transfers over a certain amount need original photo ID to be shown, copies (even certified by a solicitor) are not allowed.
If the bank let you do it without being shown original photo ID they can get screwed over.
Don't come here with your logic and sense!
