There are two ways to run a children's gold account: 1. Open an account in the child's name only. You will manage it for the child until s/he is old enough to take charge. To do this, the BullionVault account must be validated using: a bank statement for a bank account held in the name of the child, showing their registered address; the child's photo I.D. document (eg, passport, or a combination of birth certificate and other documents). As the adult in charge of the account, you must also provide an I.D. document and proof of address and a declaration that you are authorised to operate the account on behalf of the child. All deposits must be made from the child's bank account. Withdrawals will be sent back to the same bank acount.2. Open a joint account with the child. You can manage the account for them now and also after the child turns 18. The two holders will be able to carry out transactions without co-signature.
