To open a Chase bank account, you generally need the following: Identification:

• Valid government-issued photo ID such as a passport, driver’s license, or state ID.
• Social Security card or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
• For minors, a birth certificate may be required

Proof of Address:

• A document showing your name and current residential address, such as a utility bill, bank statement, mortgage document, lease agreement, or pay stub dated within the last 60 days

Age Requirement:

• You must be at least 18 years old to open an account independently. Minors can open accounts with a parent or guardian’s help

Application Process:

• You can apply online if you have a U.S. Social Security Number and valid ID, or in person at a Chase branch.
• Non-U.S. residents may need additional documents like a Matricula Consular Card or U.S. Employment Authorization Card and must present documents in person

Initial Deposit:

• Most standard Chase checking accounts do not require a minimum opening deposit to complete the application. However, some accounts have monthly maintenance fees that can be waived by meeting certain criteria

In summary, to open a Chase bank account you need valid photo ID, proof of address, be at least 18 years old (or have parental help if a minor), and optionally an initial deposit depending on the account type. You can apply online or in person depending on your documentation and residency status
