• A court judgement which states that the child lives with one of the parents if the account is opened by one of the parents with whom the child’s residence is established by a court judgement (if the parents are divorced or separated).

If a bank account is being opened for a person aged between 14 and 18, the following is required:

• All the above-listed documents
• If the parents, adoptive parents or guardians want to allow the under-aged person to dispose of the funds contained in the account independently, their respective written consent
