They do??? Hmmm.. Too bad for you then. Lol
How about your internet provider? Change of name should be fine right as long the bills are are send to the address.
When I first moved to HK I opened a bank account with bank of China. I used my drivers license and passport as address proof. Neither was within 3 months of issue, and the bank was satisfied.
Strangely enough, after working for a few years in HK and wanting to send money home to my folks, I wanted to open an account with Hsbc. I had address proof, cash and everything, and was rejected. I'm ethnically Chinese. I had to contact the branch manager, who is married to one of my relatives, and I emailed info to him and he got people to set it up for me.
