Yeah I dont know Lamarque, I just followed the instructions of the guys at the branch. I obviously had to put down my sisters name (being account name holder) and given that was a different surname to her birth certificate that was why I brought along marriage certificate. Anyhoo, confused the life out of them. I might actually go and try it again soon, probably not this week but the next and will let you all know how it goes and any changes in the process.
Hi Veteran.
I´m actually trying to do the exact same thing at the moment.
Trying to transfer from my Santander Rio bank to my Dads NAB account in AUS.
Though the guy at the bank said I needed to provide:
1. Bank Account Name, Account Number, Bank SWIFT etc.... (easy stuff)
2. My Birth Cert. (no probs, as I have this and my dad´s name is on it, DONE!)
3. Certificado Residencia en Australia
Now…this is where I am having an issue....
What did you do here with this request???
Because it seems that the AUS Government does not give these certificates to Australian Citizens. (Because we have a birth cert, or passport to prove we are Australian)
They only given them to people on Visas in Australia, for example.
So I told the guy at the bank this and he said he needs it otherwise he cannot make the transfer.
I said he could have an a copy of my Dads passport, birth cert, house bills, ATO taxation cert (which proves he is a resident)
But still he said NO!
Also did you need to have your documents officially translated or not?
Cheers and Thanks Heaps
Travis.
