Should the Driver’s Licence issued by the Guyana Revenue Authority be used as a valid form of identification?
I visited Demerara Bank and New Building Society recently and was told that it was not acceptable. In the case of New Building Society, I queried as to why, since a copy of my driver’s licence was on record at the Society as my second form of identification.
The matter engaged the attention of a manager, after which I was informed that it was a secondary form of identification. I was allowed to do my transaction, but this was contingent on a notation on the back of the deposit slip.
The notation dictated by the supervisor stated, “The Guyana Driver’s Licence is a secondary form of identification used at New Building Society. The valid forms of identification to conduct transactions are the National Identification Card and the Passport.”
The expectation is that I will not return to conduct a transaction with my driver’s licence.
Yours sincerely,
Shanomae Rose
