Signing up for a new mobile phone - What documents are needed ?

So after being with 3 for years I have had enough and plan to sign up with Orange or O2 today. I will be visiting their respective stores but it suddenly dawned on me I have no idea what proof of ID or paperwork is required. Is it just a case of a bank statement and a passport ?

Thanks upfront.

EDIT: All sorted. Just needed my driving license and that was it !

Yeah anything like that, bank card, drivers license, utility bill.

basically anything that confirms your name and address.

dont forgot you will need your bank details aswell (sort code & account no)

Who accepted a driving license only ? Did they not use a debit/credit card along with it ?
