Young Monzo Photo ID Help

To confirm your child’s details we’ll ask for a photo of their ID for us to review. Which ID to use depends on their citizenship.

If your child is a Spanish citizen

We can only accept their DNI card (Documento Nacional de Identidad – Spanish national identity card) as ID. If they don’t have one, or it’s expired, you can book an appointment at a National Police station to organise a new DNI card for collection the same day.

If they’re an EU/EEA or Swiss citizen*

We need either their passport or their national ID card.


If they’re not any of the above

We prefer a TIE card (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero – Spanish residence card for foreign nationals), but if they don’t have one, we can use their passport instead.

Things to remember

  • they must live in Spain

  • their ID must not have expired

  • their name and date of birth need to match what you shared with us

  • follow our photo guidelines – this helps us confirm their details faster

We’ll encrypt their info and store it securely, and only use it to verify their identity.
