    Hey I am setting up just a personal AIB bank account, but they say they need proof of address, I brought a little CAO thing that I didn't think they would accept as its from 2 years ago. But I dont seem to have anything else with my name on it. I am wondering is their any way I can get proof of my address today at all? She said get a tax assessment from the Government but I am guessing that will take any number of weeks and ideally I need to set up the account today.
    Thanks for any help.

    Have you never received a bill of any kind?

    If you have a Credit Union account ask them to print a statement which will contain your address on it. This was acceptable to my local AIB.

    No neither of them, after looking through everything here turning everything inside out (Live with the parents so no bills really) and nothing.

    What you could do is get one of your folks to come in as co- signee on the account. That would be the quickest way to get it done today.

    Even though I am 20 would that work? Do you not have to be under 18 or something?

    I think if you go to the social welfare office and ask them to print a letter with your PPS number it will have your address details.

    Another thing you can use is if you're registered to vote, they can look you up on the electoral register and print that off.
