I just moved to a new state, sold some items , and need a bank account for the deposit that has physical locations. I have every form of ID SS card, birth cert, passport, and DL. I have a 775 credit score, an out of state bank where I maintain a credit card. I also have cash for the opening deposit. Problem is the house and utilities aren’t mine and my search for a place will take me awhile as I’m also job hunting. So, How do I get a bank account without a utility bill? I have a formal document from the US postal service with my new address and I have a 401k statement with my new address apparently these do not count.

Change your address on your drivers license to where you're living. AFAIK, most states have an online form that will send you a temporary ID card

Thank you for the response . I wasn’t sure if I could get an ID here being as I’m living with someone else. I’ll look into the online form.

Have your roommate type a 'to whom it may concern letter saying 'Mr tipsy turtle is subletting my apartment at 123 main street." Then have someone mail you a letter and bring that in to. Do you have a pay stub with that address?
