If a customer presents a military identification card and has no other form of ID, it is my understanding is you cannot make a copy of Military ID's. What other forms can be used? This person does not drive and has no transportation to get to the DMV. He does have an expired TX DL but that is all.

My inquiry has to do with CIP requirements regarding opening an account under a FLUTMA (we are in Florida). The account holder which is the grandmother opened an account under a FLUTMA for the grandchild. The parents do not wish to release a copy of their child's birth certificate due to possible fears of compromise. Is it mandatory to require CIP information on the minor once the Chex Systems clearance has been obtained; is a birth certificate actually required?

What are the legal requirements for a bank to open a savings account for an individual customer? From what I understand, banks usually require (1) a signature card and (2) the following identity information: name, address, date of birth and identification number. I don't need any clarification on the identity requirements for Know Your Customer compliance. I am looking for more clarification on the requirements for the signature card. Is the signature card required by law to open a bank deposit account? If so, what is the law and what is the legal definition of a signature card (e.g. the required elements for a signature card)?
