I once succeeded in getting both Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank in California to accept them, in lieu of a SSN. The accounts they opened did NOT have SSN's in their computer database. You must, however, open ONLY accounts which do not bear interest, otherwise the bank will report interest to the IRS. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://supremelaw.com What follows here is a slightly updated version of the Substitute W-8 Form which appears in Appendix "L" of "The Federal Zone: Cracking the Code of Internal Revenue," electronic seventh edition: ASSEVERATION OF FOREIGN STATUS [Substitute W-8 Form] This document replaces/supersedes any/all previous declarations of status by John Q.
