Need to use real fresh darks, I won't give away my favourite bank so it doesn't get burnt, but depending on which bank you usually need drivers licence and medicare card. These can be bought online find a good source for them - they must be fresh. Then apply and set the mailing address to any residential address inside Aus. No PO boxes, international addresses etc - just send to someone letterbox and steal it out of there is easiest way.
Thank you, I never knew it works in Australia! That's something new to me.

In this 2 countries, each citizen can open bank account remotely. Courier just delivers papers and card anywhere within a country and checks if national ID is still valid. There are soooo many cases like this reported. I am a lawyer and I have a few clients from that countries and I am discussing situation occasionaly. All types of scam schemes are using this banking setup.
CZ-Slovakia, Poland, Baltic states... it works all the time in those countries, and it still works.
Thank you all for contributing your experiences. IMO, if a situation forces someone to open a personal bank account which is not under his name, I think the best way is to politely ask a homeless friend to do it for him than risking himself walking into a bank with fogged documents, not even talking of the risks for finding right supplier for those darks. It would even cost much more than he could imagine at first.
And if he's lucky enough to get his new bank account, he shouldn't forget that the bank still save copies of his fake docs ”” yes ”” under different name but with his picture, his face. Even for remote opening, the same thing also applies. He cannot avoid that because most of the banks offers remote opening only with some sorts of verification (eg. Video calls, Netverify... etc.).
Still, out of my curiosity, I would like to know if someone even tried that setup for opening corporate bank accounts. I don't think it's impossible. Someone who is crazy enough might do it only for fun.
