oh thanx so much you guys, I'm from jamaica so I don't belive I can get a matricula consular. My passport was recently renwed and my birth certificate is in English, so I should be cool right?

Jeez, this is definitely something a young person should never have to say.

Jaun im praying for u n ur family ur lucky u have such good dedicated friends not everyone can say that!!!!

Valentine. I have a passport, but it was lost, so i got a new one w/o an I-94 Visa, can i still open one?

since there are already a lot of questions, might as well add mine.

can i use an expired passport to open an account? (i can't renew mine cause i have to show proof that i'm in this country legally).

I'm not too sure if this depends on different banks, but the first time I tried to sign up for an account at Wachovia, the lady told me that I HAD to renew my passport. She said that I can't get an account unless I renew it. I went ahead and renewed it and went back to Wachovia and got a checking and savings account.

ah damn it. thanks for the reply though.

ok so Jellybeans did you only have to show your passport to open an account with Wachovia? or did you need a ITIN as well? do you happen to live in philly?

I showed the lady my ITIN, school ID, and passport but she only made a copy of my passport. She barely looked at my ID and ITIN card. I live in Miami, Florida.

You can even get a CREDIT card through BOA using your tax i.d number as opposed to a Social Security number. . . I got it figured out and it's on my "to do" list haven't done it yet though. But we have to build our credit. Get a Bank Account!!! then you can get the card with your picture on it which works as an ID in some instances.
