Western Union No Id Security Question
Do I need an ID to receive money through Western Union? 3
If I send money to a friend in the UK but they do not have an ID card, can they receive the money? I have heard that WU is intended for people who have lost their identity documents or have been attacked and do not have identity documents etc. So should my friend show his identity or is there a number or question he can use?
updateI keep hearing different things from websites and people from personal experience. Did anyone say no identification required, just a secret question or MCTN number?
Yes, your friends can withdraw cash without ID.
Only need:
1) Your first and last name as the sender
2) Your name, surname and surname as the recipient
3) Shipping Control Number (MTCN #)
4) Test / Question
Note that Western Union and MoneyGram do not write anything on the form that the sender fills in, not the name, mail address, country, not even the gender of the recipient, anything that does not make sense at all. ۔ The officer will not bother to check the identity card and will only give your money to the person who comes to the door with MTCN number and asks questions. No company will tell the sender who received the money, at which store or even to which country the money was sent. No company has the right to refund, the money sent is lost money.

I have heard that WU is aimed at people who have lost their identity or have been attacked and who do not have identity cards etc. So do you need to show an ID or is there a number or question that can be used?
Yes, you need an ID card to receive money through Western Union. There are different types of ID options: driver's license, ID card, school card, work card and any ID card.
If you instruct Western Union to send an ND to an anonymous person, they will answer security questions to arrange an ND request. I've done this in the past, but that was a few years ago, so maybe they changed their rules. Call and ask or visit their website.
You need 2 IDs.
Of course they need an identity. You do not want to be frustrated if you cannot get the right pitch so invest in a good capo.
Yes, you need identification. I am trying to send money to my brother in UK and since he does not have ID I can't.
Yes, they need to be identified or you can answer their security question and answer security question and everything will be fine.
